Since 9mm is also a correct caliber for the 1906, replacing the barrel would have no effect on the C&R status.

According to BATF these guns are exempted under section III:

"Luger, DWM Pistol, model 1900, 1902, or 1906, in 7.65 Luger or 9mm parabellum cal., having the American Eagle chamber crest, and barrel lengths of either 4" or 4-3/4, with original detachable Ideal shoulder stocks and Ideal
frame grips."

The only hangup might be the specification of "original" Ideal grips and stock. However, I think this too is OK. Please look in the General Information section of this forum at the topic "BATF Letter on Luger Shoulder Stocks".
