When was the last time you saw an original ripcord with the following information anywhere on it.

---

a. Part number, including dash number
b. Manufacturer’s identification
c. TSO-C23( )
d. Batch, serial number, or date of manufacture (month and year)

This little section should make the issue of replace with “like part” clear as mud.

If you look in the new Javelin manual I think you'll find that they state that it is illeagal to pack the rig with any thing other then the an original factory ripcord. Page 6? Just a little some thing they sneeked in. I don't recall any one else being so anal. Foes any one else actually state that?
