    Reducing barrel diameter is the best way to reduce weight. The job requires special techniques and tool shape to be done correctly, and then the barrel needs to be polished and blued. It is not a job for a handyman with a lathe, it requires an experienced hand. 2mm of the barrel diameter will reduce the weight 2-3 times more than deep fluting.
