CMMG has announced a new 9 mm MKGs lower that uses Colt pattern mags. However it is only compatible with 9 Luger marked barrels, not 9x19 barrels. Anyone know what is different?

Bottom of the above page says, "CMMG has made a small modification to 9mm barrels in order for them to be compatible with Mk9 lower receivers. This modification only applies to Mk9 platform lower receivers and does not positively or negatively affect functionality of the barrel with a MkGs, Mk4 or Mk17 platform lower receiver. Barrels that are stamped “9mm Luger” will be compatible with an upgraded Mk9 lower receiver. If your barrel is marked “9x19 NATO”, you will need to purchase a new 9mm barrel in order to ensure reliable function."
The new lower is a new configuration that uses Colt SMG mags with a modified CMMG RDB bolt and barrel. The new lower deletes the ejector and has modified a bolt catch and feed ramps. CMMG's website also lists conversion kits for existing SMG mag blowback lowers to go to the new SMG mag RDB configuration (with different kits for ASC mags and Colt/Metalform mags).
