I think, if it was me, I would make a 7.65 'liner' to press in 9mm barrel...leave 9mm lands & grooves; just press [lightly] the liner in...Liner would only have bottleneck of chamber...Would that satisfy the authorities???
Sometime on the market you can find WWI P.08 originally 9 mm Parabellum "transformed" in 7,65 Surely they do what you just said to the chamber, then either change the barrel or the re-barrel the original one as the diameter of the 7,65 mm Para is obviously narrower (about 0,309 in.)
