Dichter estimated that the building and machinery is valued at between $4 to $6 million.
Whether he will rebuild is still unclear.
"I am 66 years-old and I don't know if I have the time left," he said. "It took my lifetime to find all the machinery in this plant."

Dichter opened the plant in 1985. The facility is insured, he said.
The plant supplies customers all over the world.

Sad story.

Best wishes to the owner and to all of his employees.

This is sad to hear. Plenty of rifle barrel makers to go around I'd imagine, but seeing a local artisan company, most likely paying they're people living wages, in a small town go down is a tough thing.
