Should the reserve pin be fully seated all the way down in the pocket or slightly a little slack on the bottom? I have a TJN Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The housing should be securely tacked (hand sewn) near the edge of the plastic stiffener so that dimension cannot change. 2. As for the ripcord entangling with the two RSL rings ... I have never heard of it happening. 3. The reserve pin should be "deep-seated" in the loop (2/3 to 2/4 of the pin through the loop). This usually results in the end of the pin being just short of touching the bottom of the pocket. You know that the pin is seated too deep if its shoulder is resting on the grommet.
