I dont think anyone has done one yet. I think the biggest con is cost but depending on what Lothar blank Traditions used it might not be much of a con. Assuming its a Lothar LW50 and 1.1" OD thats a really nice barrel. LW50 is super nice steel. LW also has hammer forged as well as button rifled....I have no idea which one Traditions is using. I also have no idea if Lothar uses the same LW50 for the hammer forged barrels.
Someone at Lothar's USA office might be able to give you a better answer. Lothar Walther Precision Tools, Inc. 3425 Hutchinson Rd. Cumming, GA 30040

I called Traditions for grins. The guy told me the Outfitter G2 uses a button rifled Lothar but that is all he could tell me.

I think barrel profile gets small very fast. May be bit of a light contour for conversion.
