Glenn,
I do not believe that changing the barrel would require any refinishing of the gun. You might check with Tom Heller (lugerdoc) as he does a rather complete line of gunsmithing on Lugers and could probably fit your gun with a new barrel. The difficulty may be that a suitable barrel would be hard to find. Your gun has a "long" frame and receiver and barrels threaded for the long receiver are not abundant.
