I have a
RIGHT Folding Stock (for M4s) I once pondered using for something similar... but its noticeably innacurate.

-Without a fullstock to house batteries in the Beta, this would require one to modify the power source to either custom batteries held in the handguard (smaller than the AK-S size) or an external battery pack.

The receiver hasn't changed, why not just wire it to use a stick batt like the AKS47?
And Marui's Spetsnaz handguards are "wrong" too, so you're back to custom handguards.

After the work was done, would this hinder the gun to a great degree (due to the nature of the change) - taking into account that range/accuracy would obviously decrease due to the decreased barrel length.

like any "shorty" mod, it will, but you can compensate with a few upgrades. The gun won't be worse than a Marui beta Spetsnaz. Even without a power upgrade (given the limited battery size) a TN tightbore inner barrel will help a lot. I did this on my 933, when I shorted the barrel to 11.5" from the M4's 14" and with a stock mechbox I get better performance from the shorter tightbore (so I could have gone shorter and still stayed "at least as good" as the stock M4).

Was wondering if you had any suggestions/ideas/opinions: is this mod even plausible (functionally)? Which would be easier to convert in your opinion - AK47S or Beta Spetsnaz? Or do you think it's just too much of a hassle!

Too much hassle? Thats for you to say. I'm doing a AK-74 conversion myself. I'm being anal and going for the proper notch/stamp on the receiver (instead of the elongated one on Marui's AK47 body).
And personally I'd start with the AK47S since the Spetsnaz receiver is mostly "wrong" anyway (maybe find one for a few parts, like the rear sight)
Its a doable project, but it might get expensive/troublesome, depending on how fussy you are/how accurate you want it to be.
