I'd tighten up the threading on the barrel - right now it looks like a rounded helix spline, If you cut the # of sides down to 3 you can get a sharper thread.
I'm not familiar enough with the gun to crit on accuracy, looks good to me
Well they're only 6-sided anyways so it's not really a matter of life and death :P
And tbh the difference IS pretty clear; the upper reciever has a small, only normal mapped one at the front - has much less depth and doesn't look nearly as convincing as the ones on the lower reciever.
I think from an FPS view modeling the screws makes a lot more sense. For a 3PS I wouldn't bother, but this is probably an FPS weapon given the mesh density.
gen metal is good. but yo need more stuff on your texture. how bout some stickers, text, or tape. text could be a warning, "made in china", that sort of thing.
hey mill, I think it's a great start. Looks like you're making a lot more progress exercising modern techniques than i am haha. It looks like you could get a better bake by scrutinizing your cage a little more closely, and just adding a few more sides to those cylinders. also, I would render your normal at higher res, even if you end up resizing it later. these are some things that have been helping me a little.
if i were you i would really develop the specular carefully for a post-apoc look, since the two are kind of difficult to breed. maybe more matte dirt or paint in cavities to emphasize specular contrast. maybe something like this idk, maybe too much. it looks like you do have some already

Please do not add stupid stickers, etc. It looks fine, just tweak your spec, and listen to milo, he knows what he is saying.

why does everyone want to add such things to guns?? somali and brazil thugs do that...
it´s a weapon, not a guitar...
the mac loks ok, but the rust is reeeeeeeeeally overdone.. do you want to add it to some sort of somali pirate context?? only weapons that havent been maintained and are exposed to salt water will look like that after a while..
noone who´s got some brains left would fire such a weapon
imho tone the rust down, focus on making the metal parts get a little different hue.
often bolts and pins shine more due takedowns, sooth on the muzzle and near the ejection port, grease stains etc etc.

Now skin it like you do.
I dunno :P
Baked okay I guess

red = remove
green = add
orange = mess with
blue = also mess with (wrong color oops)
purple = personal
you should end up with roughly the same polycount.
Quick texture wip, going for a really post-apocalyptic look.

Bit of an update, still a fair bit to go
