I agree, the edges are fairly nicely rounded for that gun. If you're building it for a low poly normal map bake yeah you may want to exaggerate them a bit, but I think what you have looks fine. Nice work man.
Loosen it up where the magwell meets the receiver though. There should be a quite visible weld there, which would only benefit the overall look a lot. I would add it.
Looking at this you could actually rounden the side of the magwell some more, but keep it as sharp going out. ATM the bent edges look the same as the cut off edges.
Newbie question: Why exactly should the edges be exaggerated for baking? I haven't gotten into any high-poly stuff or baking at all, so I'm not really sure how it would effect the map.

Because usually in the bake you lose alot of resolution that you have from the hi poly model, So if i was to exaggerate the hi poly model the low poly with the bake will look fine.

But not with you
The edges, I don't think they're as tight as you guys think,
