Got their answer (it was stuck in my Spam folder):
"Thank you for your interest in Elftmann triggers. The physical weight of the ELF 3 Gun curved is 2.2 oz., 64 grams
We have an ultralight in the works that shaves off another 7 grams, should be in production 6-8 weeks

Elftmann Tactical"
That's 57 grams, which is right at 2.01 ounces. Now I'll have to wait for their ultralight.Life member NRA, SAF, GOA, WVSRPA (and VFW). Also member WVCDL. Join NOW!!!!!

Just for comparison how much does your Geissele weigh?
I took Geissele at their word when I asked them for their current weight (and if they'd given consideration to skeletonizing them) in an email a long time ago.
They said:
"Good Morning XXXXXXXXXXX,
Thank you for your interest in our products and contacting us. As of now we do not have any plans on doing this to our triggers. They currently weigh roughly 3.5oz.
Please let us know if we can be of further assistance."
So all along I ASSumed their SSA-E weighed 3.5 ounces. BZZZZZZTTTTTT!!!!!! Wrong!!!!
It only weighs 2.1 ounces (59 grams) as-is. That's without the trigger and hammer pins. I removed them to make it an apples to apples comparison.
I should have known better and automatically checked, but I never expected them to penalize themselves by an extra 40%!!!LOL
So apparently even an Ultralight Elf trigger module would only shave 1/10th of an ounce off of the Geissele SSA-E.
I might still get one anyway though, just to be different. I have other ARs that could definitely use the upgrade of this SSA-E.Life member NRA, SAF, GOA, WVSRPA (and VFW). Also member WVCDL. Join NOW!!!!!

Received my SLR Ti Sentry 7 set screw version today.
Big surprise. It was about 20% heavier than we were initially led to believe. They said 23 grams, then they listed 24 grams on their site (still says 23 in the description). It actually weighs 28 grams. Oh well, I guess. I'm getting used to that by now. It's still the best option in a light weight adjustable that I know of.
28 grams with set screws and roll pin.
26.6-27 grams without the set screws and roll pin. The scale fluctuated slightly, so the weight was just barely under 27 grams.

Darn sweet looking gasblock though and I am sure it is a good bit lighter than anything else on the market that is adjustable..?Anderson lower with ALG Combat trigger and Ergo F43 stock:

AM4966 just clued me in that SLR has now released Ti Sentry 7's in clamp on. AFTER I badgered them incessantly and they said they weren't.....

Oh man that gif pretty much sums it up.
It's the best and worst part about all of the lightweight parts hitting the market right now. They just keep getting lighter and mo betta!
On the bright side, at least the Balios receiver set has held the title for the lightest receiver set ( that is 100% alum. and no gaping wholes ) for the last year.
But I'm sure something will come out tomorrow...

I'm just irked because-- I bitched incessantly about them making a clamp on, they pretty much blew me off, and then when I gave up they very quietly turned around and released what I'd been asking for. I was working multiple threads on the subject.
I asked if they'd swap but still have no answer. They've logged on at least four times since I asked too.Life member NRA, SAF, GOA, WVSRPA (and VFW). Also member WVCDL. Join NOW!!!!!

Alfredo from SLR just PM'ed me and said he'd swap it out.
