Is there a weapon skin for the m14?

Awhile ago I suggested alt weapons skins (MODELS for you Mr. Sauce) as DLC per a larger suggestion, and while in retrospect it may not have been the best suggestion (read: bloody awful), I still maintain that TWI not selling alt model packs for the current weapons is a huge mistake.
Skins are just plain re-textures for example this:

What ro_sauce did is to do with the model and not textures so it's not a skin in any way.

everyone needs to stop saying skins in reference to models/textures, it's just plain dumb.
so... you guys do know that the weapons are MODELS with TEXTURES on them.
why does everyone reference "skins"?
Not everyone is saying this in a literal sense, it's just lingo/a slang that came to be after people started modding their videogames

Because one of the common uses of the term "skin" refers to both the model and the texture.

As in "skinning a mesh to a skeleton"? Even that context the mesh isn't a skin, it's just in phrase of an action. That makes as much literal sense as "posting a write".
