If it can be configured as a rifle from the factory, putting a shorter factory barrel is okay - subject to over all length. I have a TC encore in that state. I also have made a point of not owning a pistol grip or folding stock, because either with the 15" barrel becomes restricted. Once restricted, always so (except for antiques).
bross your comment is wrong in that if you install a handgun grip onto your short barreled non-restricted Encore it becomes a prohib not a restricted there is also nothing wrong with owning a handgun grip it only becomes a problem if you install it onto a firearm that has a barrel not making the min 26" OAL.

OP your idea is viable as long as the overall length of the firearm is over 26".
