I would swap the barrel, keep the old barrel and then replace the parts - then have it checked by a gunsmith who knows lugers to see if they can get it firing safely - personally I would think yes. I would not have just anybody swap out a luger barrel unless they have done it before...

sounds like a easy way to have made it seem unfireable by someone - you see some guns used to have holes in the barrel to show they were demilled
