I have re-read Jim Wharton's open letter to the group a couple of times and I cannot help but wonder what the details were that led to this decision. Typically, a business will continue with a produc

Jim Brown reminded us why the Orion 2 is no longer going to be produced....due to components issues.  In my mind, that presents an even larger problem...long term ownership.  If Ten Tec can't get par
