Been down this rabbit hole with two of my T3’s (.223 & .284)
The biggest saving in weight for either of them would be the stock. Both of them have a stug Carbon fibre stock so the weight difference is very noticeable.
Bolt fluting, it’s more cosmetic than anything which I had done through Gunworks but the weight saving there was only 83/84 grams.
Like you I have thought about milling off the top of the receiver but would like to see one before doing it.
At times I look back and think of the money and time I spent on the .223 and think maybe I should have just bought a Kimber Montana .223 as it would have been about same cost
