Do not go and just start taking things off to lighten it up. If you take anything off of the gun that is not original you will render the thing non-C&R. Then you will have an illegal rifle in that it will not be section 922 compliant unless you get the specific foreign parts count down to 10 or less.
Not being C&R doesn't mean it has to be 922(r). 922(r) only applies if parts are ADDED that make it a "non-sporting" rifle, like extended/detachable mags that hold >10rds, pistol grips, flash hiders/threads, or folding/telescoping stocks.
