The pistol is an aluminum receiver and won't hold up to hard use.

The mounting would have to be done custom as the mounting points are not on the pistol.

Auto Ordnance sells a factory SBR with the detatchable buttstock which would be much easier to just buy than to build one on a rifle and have to buy an additional barrel and get it installed.
