I am new to this sport and I'm trying to get a used rig. My question is, can an RSL be installed on containers that doesn't have it? Also can a container be turned into freefly friendly? All answers are welcome, thanks in advance!

Yes on both counts.
Of course depending on what you are getting, it may not be a fiscally smart decision, as converting a Vector1 into an AAD fitted freefly friendly rig is very much like making a Yugo into a rally car, or simply polishing a turd.

Also I want to compliment you on a very thoughtful ands descriptive thread title.

Welcome to the sport. It's pretty easy to get hooked. To answer your question, modifying rigs to can be pretty expensive. You can probably find a used rig that has most of what you are looking for and get it for a decent price. If you already have gear in mind and want to pay to get it done, you can add an RSL to a rig or make it freefly friendly within limits. I don't think you can take an old Telesis with just about no bridle protection and make it freefly friendly but there's probably a rigger out there that can do it somehow. It won't make it any prettier.

As for the vector I comment, I have a Vector I that I inherited when my mom passed away that meant a lot to her. I paid to have it reharnessed to fit me and added a BOC pouch since it was a leg pouch and I jump it. It means something to me so it was worth the investment. It really doesn't matter if anyone else thinks it is worth it. I don't see it as polishing a turd.

Do you have a specific container system in mind?
