This is my understanding precisely. The "interface" between the barrel extension and the receiver is now different (incompatible). Pictures posted by gstaylorg show that (instead of a pin-slot there's a wide notch now).

Well, let's hear what Nick has to say about all of this.
I agree that indexing by a wide notch is more reliable in the field and preferred to indexing by a pin. This is a design improvement.
I wonder where it leaves those of us who bought the older rifles <span style="text-decoration: underline">and caliber conversions</span>, wrt. getting new calibers (e.g. I've been considering 260 Rem), service, etc. etc.
DTA, we know you're listening. Speak up please!
