You'll need to drill lots of holes in the buttstock to get just a bit of weight reduction. Removing metal is much more efficient - start out with 'useless' or cosmetic metal, like that pewter tip. A shorter barrel will also yield a lot, and a part octagon, part round barrel is another option. If you want to make weight, you'll have to compromise on other things - like aesthetics. Besides, beautiful is as beautiful does...
