Well, thanks to all the great help from the community, I have ALMOST completed hacking my first model in a while. I have put the sig_552 into milkshape, deleted everything except the scope. Imported the m4, then moved the scope onto it without moving the m4. I then assigned the scope to the Parent to it follows the animations.

i then changed the qc to let it know to use the right materials and did "snap rotate -90 fps."

when i go to compile it. i get this error

ERROR: cannot find bone vweapon.m4Clip for bbox ERROR: Aborted Processing on 'weapons\vrifm4a1.mdl'

HERE is my compile log if it helps
