propblast 0 #1 May 23, 2002 I might have an opportunity to buy a mirage container DOM 1984. I havent seen it yet but apparently its a M-4. Does this ring a bell with any one. Once again im looking for personal expierences and opinions. Also does anyone know if it could be ASTRA equipped easily. ThanxPropblast Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
propblast 0 #2 May 23, 2002 Also,Any riggers know how hard it would be to attach an RSL or Cypress instead of the Astra? Im thinking that this might be a good second rig either for travel or specialty jumps like water. If i used it for the water i wouldnt put on the AAD.

skybytch 273 #3 May 23, 2002 1984? Just say no. It's the OLD Mirage, two pin reserve container, not AAD compatible, not freefly friendly. I'm not even sure if you can put a square reserve in it.pull & flare,lisa"Try not. Do or do not. There is no try." - Yoda sez Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
propblast 0 #4 May 23, 2002 Thats what I thought but I figured id check on here and get some opinions before I went and took a look at it.It does have squares in it right now according to the owner. I appreciate the response. I cant find my copy of poynters parachute manual so the info is helpful.Propblast Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unisyn 0 #8 May 24, 2002 Don't be scammed! The Sky Supplies Mirage in NOTHING like the current container. The container that you mentioned with a DOM 1984 is not what your after. This container is out of date equipment.If you are looking for a good deal on used equipment, Mirage has a few known dealers with good modern equipment.
