DM! Does the Epps place still build rifles?
I don't think so.... When Mr. Epps passed away, the business was sold to one of his employee's who runs it with his wife. They also haveseveral employee's helping them out...
The thing that i like about the old gunshops is, there's still the old time feel about the place, and still some "old stock" hidden away in the cornersof"old time" drawersand gun cabinets thatthose old shops had with old posters on the walls...
They do have some newer clothing ect. too...

Mr. Epps was the one who built the gun. He was good friends with my great-grandpa. My dad was there about......10 years ago and he said it's nothing like it was when he was a kid. He said as a kid, he could hardly walk down the aisles it was so full of things. Actually, according to Mr. Epps, my dad was one of the first people in Canada to use a Beetle Spin Spinner (you know the jig with the little spinner arm on it). Justa little fact
We drive past it everytime we come home from my grandparents, but we never stop there, always as BP, because its in the mall. I really want to go there sometime though.
