no
The chamber area is too large in diameter.
A "new" barrel could be made, but then as the holster man says- you would have the issue of the magazine.

Perhaps the lips could be re-formed, but then that is a lot of work to down grade your luger! JMHO

Erma's KGP series uses identical mags for 7.65 Browning and 9mm Kurz. This setup works with both case diameters, so a modified mag may not be necessary.

Dang, I just last year gave away a box of .32 French long that was part of an auction lot I won!
