Boring vs Sleeving

Not having ever done any of these things I understand what you guys are talking about. If anyone is interested, last week while surfing the Luger wave I found and article written by someone that said that the 03 Springfield rifle barrel fit the Luger perfectly, threads were identical, same twist depth, etc. If so maybe this is an alternative to expensive boring and sleeving, just cut that sucker down to length and have it turned on a lathe to and acceptable diameter and design. I can't verify this but the bore diameter should be close enough to work???
