anyone have any knowledge or opinions on the new area 419 suppressors? I’m in the market for my first suppressor to go on a 18”6.5 CM and thought they looked interesting.

do you have a suggestion on a suppressor? I’ve read tons is reviews on a lot of them, I just like first hand accounts.
Not really, I’m taking my time with this rifle because I want it to be as nice as it can be, I considered a budget build but decided against it. I just don’t want to get it all built and regret cutting corners somewhere.
Shoulda asked earlier but will this be a dedicated can for the 6.5, or will you move it around?
You hear it a lot around here but the ultras should be at the top of your list. I’ve got all of them except the .223 version. I run a 5 on a short creedmoor, and a 7 on an even shorter 6.5x47. Both guns are meant to be light and handy, and these cans go perfectly on them.

After using one do you think it’s of the same build quality and sound quality as the TBAC suppressors?
Yes I do very much so. I probably will be getting one to add to my Stamp collection.
Seems like a niche product for those 10% of PRS shooters looking to squeeze out the last ~1% of performance out of their gear to optimize their chance at a podium finish.
Like all things Area 419, I'm sure it's very well built. That brand does have a lot of ingenuity, I give them credit for that.
Unless you see yourself using all the different configurations, then my vote would be also TBAC.

I appreciate all the feedback. Being a newb and looking into my first can I think I’m over thinking it all and I’m gonna go with a thunder beast. So many guys praise them and give great reviews.
The Maverick is not just a competition can. Its a modular can that allows you to shoot fully suppressed or in its "competition mode". I've shot it in both aspects and it provides you 2 completely different feels and sounds (obviously). They have posted some nice videos comparing to similar sized cans.
After that review the only thing keeping me on the fence is the thunder beast reputation for amazing suppressors. Idk I may just wait awhile longer for more long term area 419 tests.
We will start shipping out a pretty significant number of cans next week, you'll be seeing them in the wild soon!
That’s exciting. I’m an Ohio guy and try to support somewhat local business as much as I can. The 419 can also has a really unique look which I’m diggin.
Where in the state are you? Shoot matches much? May be able to let you shoot one for yourself.
I’m from the Oxford, hamilton area. Southwestern part of the state. I haven’t shot matches yet but looking forward to getting into it. Currently in the middle of my first precision rifle build.
Does anyone have any experience with the Hellfire or Sidewinder adapters for the Silencerco Omega. I'm sure being made by Area 419 it's good to go, but I was just wondering if anyone had used it since it's relatively new.
I have the Hellfire adaptor for the Omega. It works well, it's lighter than the native QD mount, and I don't see any change in accuracy. It is a lot of moving parts though, all threaded in opposite directions. Hard to get it so that nothing is loose. I sort of wish I'd gone with a simpler direct thread system, probably TBAC. That being said I have a Maverick on order now.
Yeah I was wondering about the opposite threading, and if it caused suppressor seizing and things of that nature. The last thing I want to do is get my can stuck or have the adapter always coming off. And I don't feel like carrying around the SiCo wrench every time I shoot. But thanks for the feedback.
Use it on several cans, including an omega. Works great. The key to not having the threads work against each other is to have the can adapter tight with a dab of locktite. Never had one come undone, or lock itself up.
