Don't like how small it is either, its a very large and awkward weapon
It's about as long as the default rifle (assuming it's M14), both ingame and IRL. I entirely agree about the parts you don't like (these were my least favorite parts as well), but I see no way to make them look any better while preserving scale and proportion.
Of course I could make a "hyper deformed" or oversized model. But "hyper deformed" usually looks ugly and unrecognisable, and an oversized gun would only look acceptable with a japanese schoolgirl model.
Typical weapon mod.

Oversized models are also sort of unfair as they give away enemy location — I've seen it deliberately exploited.
Besides, there are too many of them already. Accurate gun models are probably a minority. So IMO the loss of detail is the least common evil, if not the lesser one.
