Here's the M4 I've worked on a month ago or so, and I am trying to texture right now.

Thoughts/comments/suggestions/criticism appreciated.

Also, does anyone know of any good texturing tutorials? I have no clue where to start..

Thanks.

That was my first detailed model I've worked on and actually have gotten that far.

..I'll probably lose interest in texturing and start a new model though..

Besides those, I used about...5 to 10 other reference pictures, for parts like the iron sights, the 'for lack of better term' "bullet-ejector", and a few other parts.

..and thanks. user added image

Edit: Here are the two pictures I used to set up the reference planes:
