You know... I'm not doing a playthrough where this is useful to my experience... but damn, that's a cool looking model. xD Makes you feel like Doomslayer.
I believe I accidentally found a fix to the bolt/animation loads but no crossbow model or functions. When try to summon the crossbow, convert to 3RD person camera. This has made it work for me so far. I also downloaded the Daedric crossbow weapon but I'm not sure if that's a requirement. You can return to 1ST person mode after you summon the bound crossbow in 3RD person.
Umm whenever I use this spell the weapon itself does not seem to be equipped. Only the bolt loads and my hands assume the posture of one holding a crossbow; but I cannnot fire, bash, zoom, put the weapon away or switch to a different weapon. Anyone else having this problem? I think I'll stick with my bound bow for now.
I had the same issue and downloaded http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/22113/ and it worked, since the mod uses its textures. I believe the mod author didn't properly list this as a requirement.
Edit: disregard, the issue is still happening intermittently. :\

Edit: This works with Skyrim SE but the texture is grey instead of bound weapony-ish. Worth
