Area 419 – LID for A&D FXi Scales

$65.00

This is only compatible with Area 419 V2 Auto throw Housings or V3 Thrower housings. 

Since we released the upgraded Auto-Throw Housing and the Hopper, people have been unsatisfied with the rigidity of that junk plastic lid that comes with the A&D scale. We get it, our wives have tupperware with less flex. With the upgrade though, it had to be more than rigid. We wanted to improve the user experience – and it had to be sexy. I think we nailed it.

Made of Lexan, which is super clear and crazy strong, this lid is rock solid on the scale and doesn’t require those little gray plastic inserts with felt on them. You can also see through the lid down into the cup for a better view into what’s going on. This lid is compatible (of course) with our straw replacement, and should time very close to perfect each time.

We think you’ll love it, and appreciate you being a customer.

    Received my new A&D scale top this week and love it! The heavy glass powder hopper was just too heavy for the lid that came with the scale. Scientific scales were not designed for reloading although they do work very well when adapted for the purpose.

    Here I was thinking about another quality aluminium product from Area419. How dumb of me!
    This Lexan lid is the new lens into reloading for the A&D, and can I see clearly. No more cranking of the neck and clumsy repositioning of the cup.
    Thanks again guys, I can load a confident weight.

    I recently acquired a V3 Auto Trickler and after setup on my FX-120i , I was underwhelmed with the flexibility/movement of the auto drop mounted to the plastic top. A buddy who saw you at the Shot Show told me to visit you website and I ordered one immediately. WOW what a difference, well thought out and precision made, plus Lexan looks cool. Excellent product and I’ll mention it to my buddies on Accurateshooter.com.

    My only “grievance” is 100% not related to function. I have to admit, having always heard amazing, raving reviews of Area 419 and their work…I was a bit disappointed seeing the finish along the outside edges of the lid where they cut it.

    Mine had very noticeable “chatter marks” from the cutting process. Again, this has no bearing on the functional aspect of the lid…it’s purely an aesthetics disappointment. Some time spent with varying degree grits of sandpaper fixed the issue.

    Moving past that…the lid is amazing, and the lid feels like a 3/8” piece of steel compared to where the FX120i “factory” lid feels/flexes like a piece of paper.

    I do not regret the purchase in any way and I would buy it again. As I said, I was just surprised it didn’t come with a glossy smooth finish like I thought it would due to Area 419’s reputation.

    Love the see thru lid! Makes a big difference!

  6. Darren I. (verified owner) –

    Awesome design

  7. Gene B. (verified owner) –

    Great enhancement from original. More solid and easier viewing of what’s going on with the drops.

  8. William (verified owner) –

    This lid is very solid. I have very few kernels escape the powder tray (Area 419 powder tray), much better than the standard lid.

    Awesome

  10. Patrick M. (verified owner) –

    You might consider producing your cover as in the picture. The front windscreen can be removed and replaced without having to take the cover/Autothrow off the scale. Much more convenient.

  11. Matt Findlay (verified owner) –

    Quite a lot sturdier than expected. Really helps in seeing whats going on.

  12. Dwight (verified owner) –

    This is a solid and tight fitting accessory that you gotta have!

  13. Adam B. (verified owner) –

    If you have a auto trickler and want to take it from a 10 to 11 then buy upgrades from area419 it sucks to have to add to a already expensive setup but you won’t regret it! They have fixed all the short falls of the setup to bring it up to the level that the setup should be !

  14. Sean (verified owner) –

    The lid fit perfectly. Now I can better see the alignment of the cup/autothrow/trickler. Plus the lid is much more ridged.

  15. Ryan K. (verified owner) –

    Nice, heavy duty piece. Definitely worth the price.

  16. Johnny Sprinkle (verified owner) –

    Nice touch for the Auto Trickler setup.

  17. Andrew (verified owner) –

    It can hold a static charge which will throw off the scale significantly, however I found that carefully washing the lid using laundry detergent seems to do the trick of balancing the charge. Do not wipe it with dryer sheets, they will scratch the finish. When you have a scale like this you are always battling static and it is not the lid’s fault. It is a five star product!

  18. Jon P. (verified owner) –

    Precision cut and fit was perfect.

  19. John C. (verified owner) –

    This is a great lid can see the charges being dropped. Very thick heavy Lexan piece. Works great!!

  20. Robert Y. (verified owner) –

    Great workmanship

  21. William Thompson (verified owner) –

    A must have

  22. Mark (verified owner) –

    Seeing every kernel is imperative for accuracy. This clean lid is “the bomb”. Very well constructed.

  23. Garry (verified owner) –

    Area 419 – LID for A&D FXi Scales that was a no brainer made just right in everyway

  24. Troy (verified owner) –

    Thanks works great!!!

  25. Steve Harville (verified owner) –

    I wish the groove on the bottom side for the side pieces went all the way around. I put the side piece back in when I’m finished and the Clear Top is offset because the groove doesn’t go all the way around. I have a little OCD.

    • Craig Arnzen (store manager) –

      The best way to remedy your issue is to trim the top from the front panel. Routing the groove all the way around would impede visibility for the vast majority of people that don’t have any sort of shield on the front.

  26. Chance L. (verified owner) –

    This is an absolute must have. It lets you see what’s going on and makes the entire top more stable then with what comes with the balance.

  27. Barry (verified owner) –

    Excellent product, great service and superfast delivery

  28. Robert Summerfield (verified owner) –

    Nice and heavy. Great to see through. But it would be better if it were inset all the way around instead of just 3 sides. Now I will have to cut the access panel which I bought that has an access window to make it fit. Can’t really understand why it wasn’t inset all the way around to begin with.

    • Craig Arnzen (store manager) –

      Robert – the thought behind the 3-sided groove was to maintain as much visibility from the top as possible. The Lexan becomes frosted when the track is cut. As most customers fully remove the front windscreen, this gives the most visibility and utility to the most people.

  29. Royston Wheller (verified owner) –

    Loved it, just the right weight and a great addition.

  30. Darryl B. (verified owner) –

    Love this high quality, see thru lid. Big improvement and upgrade over the factory junk.

  31. Paul B. (verified owner) –

    Great to deal with.

  32. Walter (verified owner) –

    Very nicely made!

  33. Robert Walker (verified owner) –

    Wish I had purchased this when I got my scale. Adds a little heft to the powder thrower tower.

  34. Robert Iwanochko (verified owner) –

    Perfect fit

  35. Anthony Alexander (verified owner) –

    Really like this now you can see the powder drop.

  36. Anonymous (verified owner) –

    Beautifully made part

  37. Anonymous (verified owner) –

    Great product and great service

  38. Justin (verified owner) –

    Much sturdier yhan factory lid

  39. David (verified owner) –

    This is a great upgrade for your scale. The stock one is flimsy and you can’t see through it. This one solves the problem and fits perfectly.

  40. Clif (verified owner) –

    Perfect fit.

  41. Patrick M. (verified owner) –

    Alright, this one, was a tricky one. Upon first installation i admit the thought of “wow this was a mistake” crossed my mind. The amount of static was something I could only imagine was created by someone running a marathon on carpet wearing wool socks. However, after grounding my scale and giving the lid a generous coating with some static guard the problems are gone. Wanted to give 5 stars because it is a stunning improvement, but i think an anti static treatment should be included or applied beforehand.

    • Craig Arnzen (store manager) –

      Fair assessment here. The static is actually caused when you peel the protective brown coating from the Lexan, so there’s no way we could both protect the product AND pre-anti-static the lid.

  42. William Jones (verified owner) –

    Doesn’t lock into place

  43. Michael Brock (verified owner) –

    Not so in to the plexiglass top but feel like it will do the job

  44. michael e. (verified owner) –

    You can always count on the quality and effectiveness of their products

  45. Larry (verified owner) –

    Excellent quality and service

  46. JONATHAN (verified owner) –

    Huge improvement over what comes with the scale.

  47. Ivan (verified owner) –

    Perfect addition to AutoTrickler

  48. Tom T. (verified owner) –

    Much more stable than what it originally came with and so great to see the powder dropping into the cup.

    Image #1 from Tom T.

  49. Mark H. (verified owner) –

    Much better than the original lid

  50. Antonio G. (verified owner) –

    Another great product that I thought I could do with out. However, after getting tired of bending down to look at my Trickler dropping kernels, I found this to be exactly what I needed.
    I haven’t received my V3 Auto Trickler yet, so I pour my powder in my new Area 19 Powder Cup, place it on the pan of my A&D scale and trickle up with my my Dandy Trickler. Now I can see each kernel drop precisely and clearly through the top on the Lid.
    Oh, I also read some where, a complaint, about the quality of the cuts on the edges of this lid being rough. I can tell you that this is not the case with mine. All the cuts were clean and free of any sharp edges. The lid is also pretty thick and heavy compared to the Lid on the A&D scale. Not too heavy, but just heavy enough to hold the new V3, when I get it. I highly recommend this Lid for anyone using an A&D scale.

  51. Donald (verified owner) –

    Must have item

  52. Milton Turner (verified owner) –

    Much better than the Tupperware top

  53. Dag T. (verified owner) –

    As expected, top function& quality

  54. Benny (verified owner) –

    Great quality, but too expensive for a piece of acrylic.

  55. Fritz (verified owner) –

    Price was reasonable for this part.

  56. Allen Scott Young (verified owner) –

    It is everything it says it is

  57. Timothy Moore (verified owner) –

    I was expecting a clear lid not the frosted finish. I was hoping to be able to watch the powder trickle and see the placement of the powder cup.

    • Craig Arnzen (store manager) –

      It is clear – the frost layer is a protective film, peel it off!

  58. Robert G. (verified owner) –

    Nice addition to my A&D scale setup

  59. Matt (verified owner) –

    Very nice upgrade over the factory lid

  60. Dennis Lappert (verified owner) –

    Extremely well made product. Couldn’t be happier.

  61. Phillip Dyson (verified owner) –

    A must have for the V3 autotrickler.

  62. Marc Bean (verified owner) –

    Didn’t think I needed one of these clear tops till I got one! Makes seeing what is going on with my powder charges so much easier!

  63. JULIAN DEBEER (verified owner) –

    Product (clear autothrow lid) is great and exceeded my expectations, thick and very sturdy and will add to the convenience of the V3

  64. Ray Axley (verified owner) –

    Great design!

  65. Randy B. (verified owner) –

    Very sturdy and well made allows you to view the powder dropping into the cup

  66. Robert Navratil (verified owner) –

    Perfect nice upgrade

  67. Tony DiBenedetto (verified owner) –

    This product is absolutely amazing and makes it so much easier to see the charges

  68. JOSEPH C. (verified owner) –

    This clear lid had made the whole Auto-throw system alot more stable and I feel better when moving the top section to clean off the sacale.

  69. Samson Hurt (verified owner) –

    Very nice piece. Could use some instructions for idiots like me. Almost sent it back till I realized there was ultra thin protective covers that need to come off to see how clear it is.

  70. Glenn E. (verified owner) –

    Much better than my stock lid

  71. Gregory (verified owner) –

    Perfect fit. Very stable and allows visibility of powder discharge.

  72. frederic ROGER (verified owner) –
