Hi, i have a Gsg-5p that i  would like to make a rifle and put a stock on without paying a SBR tax. Would be legal to permanetly attach a thread adapter with silver solder to a GSG-5p and permanently attach a Muzzle brake/ Fake suppressor to the thread adapter to bring the barrel length to 16 inches so that it is legally a rifle? I didn't know if it would be legal because the thread adapter does not directly attach to the barrel. Thank you

You just said "I would like to make this an SBR without paying the tax".

That is not possible.  YOu take your pistol and put a stock on it.... you NEED to follow the law and apply for the SBR tax like everyone else.... or go to jail.

I would like to covert it to a rifle, but i would like to know if it would be legal to permanently attach the muzzle brake so that the barrel length is 16''. Im not interested in making it a SBR but i would like to know if a permanently attached the muzzle brake would be legal before i do it and learn that it's not and legal, and i accidentally make it a SBR.

Good question.  I HAVE seen rifles with permanently attached (welded) ends on them to comply with the length requirement.... but I don't know the proecess.

If you DO convert a PISTOL to a RIFLE..... doesn't the same process apply?  Isn't it $200 and all the fingerprints and checks to go to a rifle?  Might as well SBR if so.

no only if you sbr. if you make a 16inch riffle there is no need to do a form 1.
