If you didn't start modeling off the clearest, most high resolution image that you could find, then you're already setting yourself up for failure.

Get more reference images, higher resolution photos are your best friend. Here's a starter pack: http://deicidenbf.thanez.net/ASSAULT%20RIFLES/

Here's a parts list: http://m1carbine.org/gallery/18_14_08_12_12_12_46.jpeg , this + google images can give you every reference image you would ever need.

I highly suggest starting over once you've found a better ref to base all the model's proportions out. Something like this : http://www.thespecialistsltd.com/files/Replica_M4_TrickedOut.jpg Keep in mind that the thing is made up out of lots of different parts all attached together in some way, so modeling each part separately is going to be the most accurate reproduction.

Thank you RedRougue, I have begun sculpting in zBRUSH to Quad draw in Maya. Using the new reference image you have sent me. Lots of things are a lot more clear with the new image.
