Ok I have looked around and can't find anything on this so I'm gonna ask. If I took the fake surpressor off the full size GSG will it give me enough barrel legnth so that I could put the folding stock and fore grip on the pistol and not have to pay the SBR/AOW tax?

You mean perminently installing the fake suppressor onto the GSG-5k? You're gonna have to file paperwork for it to be a suppressor then. Because i have a feeling its gonna lower the sound level.

The fake supressor is not the barrel and as such would not count.

As I understand it, the K variant is registered as a pistol, and marked as such.  Therefore, while you likely wouldn't get any flak upon a brief visual inspection, I'm pretty sure you'd still be in violation of the law.

The fake can on the rifle covers the 16" barrel. So if you had a fake can that brought your barrel length to 16" and it were permanently attached then you would be ok.

You will not be able to add a stock to any pistol without registering it, regardless of the barrel length, if it was manufactured as a pistol.

This is incorrect information - if you install a 16" barrel, a stock can be legally added if it meets OAL requirements (usually 26").

So in theory I could take the full length barrel put it on the K model add a folding stock and for grip and be legal?

the fake can on the GSG-5 will not fit the GSG-5PK.  completely different front site post.  So, it's really not worth the trouble.  You'll be better off buying a used GSG-5 (easy to find in the low $400's), and installing a folding/collapsible stock and front grip.
