**NOTES**
1) This will not work by itself with the Sartorious scale or the tall A&D windscreen. We are working on a solution for those units.
2) This will ONLY work if you already own the Area 419 V2 Auto-Throw Housing or a V3 Thrower. If you don’t have the V2 Housing or a V3 Thrower, DO NOT buy this product.
Want to save the turtles? Well here is your time to shine. Burn those straws!!!
New from Area 419, our straw replacement for your Auto Trickler housing. We designed this replacement to give you a smoother, worry-free powder drop into your Area 419 Powder Cup. The offset through-hole and specific height help to eliminate splashing kernels, while keeping the drop inside the edge of the powder cup.
This straw replacement will ONLY work with our Auto-Throw housing. Since we thread mill both pieces, we can control where the spout ends up. As pictured is where we like it and where it SHOULD end up (thickness of lid will vary and change the timing). That said, we are including an o-ring that you can sandwich between this piece and the lid to allow you to “time” the location of the spout a reasonable amount.
NOTE: We released the replacement FX Scale platen HERE. The platen, straw replacement, and a new windscreen lid will be available as a kit when we have them complete, expect this to be mid December. We will not offer discounts on the second and third products. Be aware that buying them individually and getting them sooner will come with the incremental cost.

Great fit, and no splashing of powder out of the cup.
Kyle Marsh (verified owner) –
This appears to be a better powder dump tube that will minimize powder splash
Barry (verified owner) –
Does the job very well
Peter (verified owner) –
no comparing this to the 3d printed one on the autotrickler. Just awesome
RYAN MEYERHOFER (verified owner) –
Quality appears to be second to none
Nicholas Brandler (verified owner) –
Makes the throw much less likely to splash. Haven’t had a splash since using this, keeping my scale free from loose kernels.
Jim Laverty (verified owner) –
Great quality
Robert Summerfield (verified owner) –
Works well but I had to go to Ace Hardware and get a proper sized o-ring so it could be timed correctly with the clear cover. The one which came with it was too big in diameter and too thick. And the timing was horrible without it since I have the trickler on the right side. Would be nice to have a small instruction with it for the removable piece which came out, not sure if it should be open to the hole or opposite or whatever. No views on website either.

I still don’t know where that o ring is supposed to go that was with this.
Craig Arnzen (store manager) –
Hey Anthony – the O-Ring is included for customers using Gen-2 Auto-Trickler Thrower Housings. This allowed customers to “time” the outlet of their funnel. On Gen 3 units the threaded stem on bottom of the thrower is fairly short, so the use of the O-Ring is not possible.

Cool product, the glass AutoTrickler powder cup will not slide easily under this straw with the 419 lexan lid in place so I am not currently using this straw. I will probably end up ordering the 419 powder cup.

Powder does not stay in the cup. No improvement from factory item
Craig Arnzen (store manager) –
Justin, when installing the unit did you ensure the baffle inside the straw replacement was timed?
Darren I. (verified owner) –
Awesome gave more room for trickler
DAVID (verified owner) –
Helps with powder splash and gives trickler spout more room. Good fit onto the unit.

Wasn’t quite what I was expecting. I was hoping it would solve the problem of kernels bouncing out on to the scale. I tried multiple positions and kernels still bounce out. I wish the Area419 tray was clear like the one that comes with the a3 because I like being able to see the powder in it. I think it is the shape of the glass on the stock a3 tray that causes the kernels to bounce out.

The billet straw is a really nice upgrade from stock. It fit my autothrow and Area419 lid perfect
Jerry Snyder (verified owner) –
Great product. I have a V3 trickler. I found that a smaller diameter O ring will work better, 3/32 width worked for me to time/ clock the trickler on top of the clear plastic lid better
Anthony Camp (verified owner) –
Nice add on
Antonio G. (verified owner) –
Seems to work perfectly. The only down side was that there were no instructions on how to properly set up the baffling. I took a guess and it seems to work. I put mine on the original V3 unit, not Area 419’s. I also had Area 419’s clear top. So I had to use the rubber gasket that was sent with the package. The issue I had, was that the fit was really tight and had a lot of trouble trying to screw it on to the threads. You have to really push on it, up into the threads to get it to make contact with the threads. So beware of that too, if you are using the same setup as mine.

Definitely needs instructions for assembly. Internal baffle was out of position and what fun it was to figure out how to get it in correctly. Also, the o-ring is worthless. What is needed is maybe some shims. The o-ring was too thick and not using it places the powder throw at 180° out of position. Not a big deal, but a deal none the less. I will probably try making a shim. With that said, once everything was assembled correctly, it works good. I don’t know if it’s $40 good, as the old one worked too. But it is a good looking, functional piece.

Way less spilled powder grains. Does what it’s suppposed to very well!
Marc Bean (verified owner) –
This offset straw makes it super nice to be able to get the throw and the trickler into the cup without having pellets bounce out. A must have!
DAVID W. (verified owner) –
Great product only down side is included o-ring doesn’t work with plexiglass upgrade
Randy B. (verified owner) –
Great replacement allows the trickler to have more room
James V. (verified owner) –
Took me ainute to find the fb video showing where the half moon key aligned. Instructions are Lisa than desirable in the packaging but the product is great.
Robert Navratil (verified owner) –
Much better than stock
Brian S. (verified owner) –
Great addition to my Auto Trickler V3 system, I now have all parts A419 makes to enhance AT. Great stuff as always. Thanks
David Bassett (verified owner) –
Perfect compliment to the Area 419 cup. It also solved a hight issue I was having with the OEM trickler…this is the perfect height.
Samson Hurt (verified owner) –
No instructions what so ever for half moon piece insert. Gasket for top is too thick for most tops. Funnel straw itself is great

Sometimes dribbles a granule or two apparently stuck on the internal plate. Installation instructions for the plate would be really helpful. Include photos showing final position.

Their products are always top notch. They are pricey but they are of the highest quality. You buy once cry once.

perfect machine work ,
Robert Heard (verified owner) –
No more over splashing.
Brant L. (verified owner) –
I had a after markert lexan wind screen and I had issues with it spilling powder about every throw with and without the baffle. I do machine work so I made a aluminum tube to go over the spout and extend it down about a 1/4″ and it works awesome now.
Mark S. (verified owner) –
Stops spilled kernels
Charles R. (verified owner) –
Area 419 straw,platen, and cup results in more kernals landing outside the cup than the Area 419 platen, cup and Autotrickler stock straw combination. I loaded another 60 rounds without straw insert with same results – .60 grains of powder outside cup. If you do not mind cleaning up then possibly an option for you. Functionality is just not as expected despite straw being closer to cup opening than the stock straw.

Paired with the 419 powder cup, you’ll have way less powder bounce.

Looks nice but not able to get it installed and timed. Included oring will not compress enough so threads engage. On the hunt for different o ring
