People have been making/building sub-6lb AR's with regular milspec lowers. Cutting or shaving the lower for weight reduction is non-sense, when you can reduce weight of the rifle in other places (barrel, stock, etc).
If its only for cosmetic reasons (for a non-hard use rifle), then its fine. Otherwise, I think its not smart.
You can get a bunch of weight out of an upper and lower without affecting function, or stabbing holes in it.... It takes some time to do it however.
