Just buy a pistol with the barrel configuration that you want.
The receiver tube is the serialized part. So, you are, essentially, buying another firearm when you buy a Paclite upper.

I don't think it is worthwhile to modify the Mk II.

Keep the Mk II for fun.
Use the new beater for whatever requires threading.
