Cool how you've got the paints to work with the adjusted parts. Think you'll make any more alterations to the barrels, or make different parts muzzle parts available? Something like an integrally suppressed barrel, or variants with cooling jackets from the shotgun might look nice.
Most meshes are made from scratch but as for the textures I only used bits and pieces from vanilla textures so far. For example, this stock uses parts from the receiver, the wooden stock and metal stock. And the drum mag is actually a recycled shotgun drum mag. Haven't tested yet, but I think using textures from other weapons with creation club skins should work, as well. It's not the best way to go around but at least I get a fully skinned model without editing loads of skin textures.
As for the barrels I only have a fluted barrel right now, which I will use to replace the light barrel. Maybe a shielded barrel for the ported barrel, like you suggested. Also I am most likely going to change the muzzles, they are too bulky imo.
The muzzles from the vanilla submachine gun, 10mm pistol, the vanilla assault rifle flash hider, the combat shotgun's ppsh muzzle, and the suppressors for the submachine gun, assault rifle 5.56 suppressor, and 10mm pistol suppressor all already have creation club skins. Between those and the vanilla compensator there could be a lot of options. This also reminds me of the reflex sight options for various guns, and how the 10mm pistol was the only one with access to a particularly good looking variant, and other mods that let you mount reflex sights at back and forward positions on the rails.
It might also work to grab the bipod model off the unused hunting rifle parts and tack it onto a barrel variant, or to make one with the finned tommy gun barrel (though that might not make sense with the gas tube), or one covered over with wood or polymer furniture.
