📋 About This Mod
Change the Combat Rifle to look like the .45 carbine that its stats suggest.
I threw this together last night while I couldn't sleep. It's made to fill one of the options I mention in this thread, and for people who don't mind the Combat Rifle's stats, and don't want to remove it altogether, but can't stand that it doesn't look right.
Features
-all receivers and both magazine sizes have modified meshes to give the impression of a firearm chambered for pistol rounds.
- all barrels now have the supporting frame in the same place, and 'light' barrels now use the fluted model. Most barrels are slightly shorter.
- recoil stock replaced with a mashup of the original and one of the railway rifle stocks, because I couldn't stand that the two advanced stocks looked identical. This is also changed for the Combat Shotgun.
- . 308 receiver changed to . 44
-modified receiver texture to hide some severe distortion
Updates
Version 1. 2
-Fixed some alignment issues. Rear sights now look like they're actually on the rail.
Version 1. 1
-Large mag is now straight. Decided to make this change after seeing Satojo's standalone version. It just looks better.
-adjusted both magazines to hide the gap
Compatibility
Incompatible with anything that changes the existing Combat Rifle parts. Retextures will still work, but may have slight distortion. Mods that add extra barrels, stocks, or scopes should also still work.
If you would like essentially the same thing as a standalone weapon, I suggest Satojo's version.
Known issues
-Creation Club textures will be distorted on the Receiver. Most don't look terrible, but it is very noticeable.
- Scoped versions no longer say 'Sniper'. They kept coming out as "Combat Sniper Rifle" instead of "Sniper Carbine" or similar, so I just removed the naming keyword. May fix in the future if I can figure it out.
