Beatnik 2 #1 November 27, 2004 A good friend of mine gave me this rig that he had. I know it hasn't been jump in some time and was supposed to be all custom when he got it a while back. Can anyone identify it and post some information about it.Cheers, Jim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stratostar 5 #2 November 27, 2004 Looks to be a Canadian knock off of a mini system or the likes. Old school rig or called "gutter gear" today, would hold a round canopy. Reserve would go on your chest, a "belly wart". That is the best I can tell from the photos. Looks clean... .you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nitrochute 2 #3 November 27, 2004 looks like a rig that was made by tom cook's masters of the sky shop in canada.i believe it was a rough knock off of a strong enterprises stylemaster(circa early to mid 70s).they went out of business in the late 70s owing 10s of 1000s of dollars to most of the major manufacturers.

riggerrob 643 #4 November 28, 2004 "MS" was based near Montreal, back in the 1970s. They built that fore-and-aft rig and the "Skinnypig" harness/container. I also vaguely remember them building a copy of a Strong Lopo reserve. Nobody has asked me to repack any MS gear in more than a decade. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
