I miss Elwood. He was a tome of knowledge and loved to experiment on Lee Enfield variants as well as Mausers. Mostly because they were dirt cheap and available at every gas station/small store/hardware stores and the Sears/Eatons catalogs.
I first met him in White Horse around 1973, He was working for a mine as a machinist/handyman and worked on his projects to alleviate the camp boredom. The locals soon heard about the "GUNSMITH" in the camp and brought him stuff to work on. He was very careful to tell the folks that he was self taught but that was meaningless to them. Everyone whose lived up North fully understands gifted individuals and how valuable they are, even in today's high tech society.
Elwood was a dreamer but he loved to chat and play, especially with other firearms enthusiasts willing to work outside of the box. His ethics were unimpeachable at worst. Looks like the people that bought the business from him are carrying on the ethics. Elwood would approve.

I've been very satisfied with my dealings and purchases with Ellwood Epps.
Customer service was and is exceptional.
Have a couple rifles built by Elwood, both Mausers. They are keepers.
Only bought one firearm over the telephone from Epps, Browning A-bolt 12 ga., exceptional service and e-mail communication. I was a little apprehensive buying sight unseen but the gun was beautiful and came in an Epps sock.
And thanks for the Elwood story bearhunter. My wifes family is from that area and the bil is an avid hunter/shooter/fisherman so I hear lots of Epps tales of deals had and how fortunate they were to have Epps close by. ( Back before internet etc.. ).
Epps is I’m person only... they will screw you and smile about it if you try to buy online...
You know what you did!
