Let me add to Ron's advice, that the artillery barrel will screw in just fine with the same chance and limitations that it will require some fitting and possibly some chamber adjustment. You may be as lucky as he, or require a chamber reamer to complete the job. But the Artillery rear sight sits lower than top of the Luger receiver ring and will require that you "notch" the receiver so that it can sit as low as it was designed to sit. Do a forum search for "notch" and you should find some photos to give you some idea of what is required. Since your Luger is a parts gun, this modification will not lower it's value any.
Instead of swapping barrels when you get tired of one configuration, I would recommend that you purchase an additional receiver and mount and headspace your extra barrel on it. That way you won't wear out the receiver threads and the fit of your new barrels.
Please post what you would consider quality photos of the receiver wrench and vise that you have purchased...
