Noooo..don't replace the barrel! you'll destroy half (or more) of the value of the gun. 30cal Lugers are usually more reliable than the 9mms, given the bottlenecked cartridge feeds smoother. Find a GOOD gunsmith who knows Lugers (search Lugerdoc on here). The easiest way to tell if your Luger is a very early model is by the toggles...the 1900 models have a scalloped (dished out) shape, where later guns have a full donut shaped toggle....see my post of today.
