One thing I could recommend for this version of the Combat Rifle is the Automatic Recievers being retuned to make it fire with 3 round bursts instead. As provided from this mod here. Thus giving this weapon a far more distinguished roll as a marksman rifle instead of another assault rifle-like gun like how the Handmade Rifle works.
