Colt has made several piston guns over the years starting with the Model 703, as well as the "M5 Carbine." Obviously the 6940P was a production model.
I'm assuming you're talking about the recent, non-monolithic piston uppers that have been floating around and are being discussed on the Colt Industry page. They were called various things, "Advanced Combat Carbine" (ACC) and I believe there was an APC model without a monolithic upper as well. They also had a "hybrid" piston design that they used on various models. The external appearance (and if you really really wanted to make a "clone") would basically be a 6940P gas block on a standard M4A1 with a KAC M4 RAS (probably modified):

That front sight is ugly and Colt should feel bad.

They're around but rare.
There are better piston design out there from a function and aesthetic perspective. |

I played with one years ago. Handled it, a Sig 516, LWRC and PWS. I bought the LWRC. The Sig was second choice.
The Colt was the heavest compared to the other. The real truth was I thought the Colt was the ugliest of the four. Years later I added PWS to collection and it has become my favorite. |

Which LWRC did you buy? M6A2?
Have you ever checked out an HK416/MR556? |

I've got a 6940P, I like it but I'm considering moving it...I bought it when Colt was still making them.
if I had wanted a dead end platform, I woulda bought an ACR 
Anyway - I like it, it's a later one with the one piece carrier. It's very clean unsuppressed, recoil is identical as near as I can tell. It doesn't feel particularly overgassed or anything to me. I've had it out with XM855, XM193, Wolf Gold and Wolf WPA/Classic and it fed and functioned fine with all of them out of the box. Easy to clean, and the gas piston setup is actually pretty slick, IMO. Sort of a takeoff on a FAL gas system setup. |

If you find or build one here's the lower you need for it.

I have a Colt 6940 P, and I love mine. I started with a 6920. I have had zero troubles with either one. The 6940 is lighter and more accurate. Good shooting.

I picked up a Colt stripped NOS piston upper off of GB a while back. Just put my AA kit together. The only thing I noticed was the bushing dropped into place with zero resistance, so I had to red Loc-Tite it in. The receiver has a pin hole that goes across that area, so I'm not sure how it was originally set up from colt.
