    Out of curiosity, can you/would you weigh the op rod?
    All else being more or less equal, that does represent weight 'out there' over the barrel compared to just a DI tube so likely effects overall balance to some small degree doesn't it?

    .1#, sure, but .1# disbursed further forward of the natural balance point.

    Promise, no pestering about how the rod reciprocating effect may or may not alter muzzle climb and whatnot, unless you care to speculate.

    Though on a purely useless informationally cant, it might be amusing to note if it sounds different when fired due to the different mechanicals interfacing. Like does the op rod spring hum like the buffer spring or the post trigger pull cycling sound like a M80 in a bag of bolts. Again, kind of useless overall, or certainly of very low priority but still a curiousity.

    Gunny Interstate: This is the Colt 6940P, chosen weapon of our modern forces, and it makes a distinctive sound when fired at, well, pretty much anything

    Actually something that can be done quick and easy without a trip to the range: does it sound much different when just picked up and shaken?
    Got enough issues with noise dicipline without adding something inside a rifle that can't be damped without effecting actual operation.

    @ C4IGrant,

    Do you know if Colt will offer the piston for those who own the 6940? Will the piston fit under the 6940 rail or is their addition gunsmithing done to the 6940P to make it fit?

    The piston upper is a different forging than that of the 6940. So no, Colt won't offer the piston assembly to retrofit a 6940.

    @ C41Grant ,

    Do you know when/if there will be any option to just order the upper ?

    If so, do you have any in stock and can it be shipped to NJ ?

    Thanks

    Maybe. At this moment, we cannot get enough guns in to cover existing orders.

    Colt 6940 Piston Gun?

    I saw Colts 6940 piston gun today? Has anyone shot this gun or done a review yet. It was the 6940 model with piston.

    It will be interesting to see how the perception of the gas piston changes over the next 5 years if our boys start using them by the 100,000's.

    PB,

    Was it a heavy pig? I would think it is. I sure wish that they woould pull their head out and use a different rail. That 6940 rail is too short.
