Piston-driven ARs are all the rage today, but they are not new-in fact they are half a century old. The first piston AR, the Model 703, was made by Colt to meet the requirements for U.S. Special Forces in the 1960s. In the September issue we take a look at the latest piston AR design from Colt-the Model 6940P.

Recoil is a given in any pistol caliber and model. Specific loads can optimize or downgrade the shooter's overall ability to run the weapon at speed when the moment comes. Most shooters struggle against recoil to some degree, and we cover a few areas that can help tune recoil to a shooter's needs.
