I'm finding lots of already modified weapons, and it's becoming rather annoying to compare them to my own modified weapons. Mods can have a pretty large effect on the stats of a weapon, and it's hard to see if a new weapon would be an improvement over my current one if I would add the same mods as I have right now on the current weapon.
What I'm interested in is finding out which weapon the modified one is based on, to see if it is something I already own or something better. Alternatively just seeing the stats of the unmodified base would work as well to compare them to my own weapons.
Is there any way to do this?

The base of the weapon is displayed in the name of the weapon, accompanied by names for some of the mods. Let's agree to not look at the mods (like powerful, hardened, recoil compensated). They do not tell you anything in that regard.
After that, you need to discard the non-obvious mod words in the name. Whether a weapon is a pistol, a rifle or a sniper rifle largely depends on the stock and the scope you have attached to it. That usually leaves one word that identifies it.
A few examples:
