Navy luger conversion?

Wow this is a great site, and very informative. I am new to the world of the Luger, but I can see the infection is already spreading. So here's a question for those that know more than me. I really like the looks of the long barelled Lugers but I can't afford one at this time. I have a line on a reproduction Navy barrel and a 1918 upper with an attached 4" barrel, would it make sense to have the Navy barrel installed on the 1918 upper and then have that "new" upper fitted to my 1937 S/42? I think I can get the barrel and upper for about $200.00 to $225.00, now i'll still need to get the rest of the upper parts including the toggle and pay to have the whole mess put together. Am I going to be spending more than I can find a decent Navy "Shooter" for? And if is feasible, would I beable to switch uppers back and forth on my S/42 Lower Frame?
And Last but not least, a VERY BIG THANK YOU to anyone willing to take the time to read through this whole convoluted mess.
