Description of the business for sale
For 20 years this company supplied the walnut gunstocks to Winchester Firearms and employed a busy crew of sawmill workers. During this period an average of 40,000 blanks per year were cut and shipped. Winchester eventually sold out and the contract was not renewed. Today the owner of this fascinating business is 79 years old and semi-retired, taking small orders for gunsmiths and private individuals around the world. Due to an excellent reputation and name recognition the business receives many requests for larger orders that it cannot fill. The business includes $200,000 of gunstock inventory and the assets of a complete sawmill operation. A huge inventory of walnut logs is stored at the mill site. The real estate is also available and includes a beautiful 2600 sf home and four outbuildings, including a solar dry kiln, on 1.68 acres in Chico.
