Elmores in greenwood

[***Ironhead***]

Looks like they are closing up the shop after Russ’s passing. Apparently they will sell online with no brick and mortar store.

I know from reading how some people were treated whenever they visited Elmores this will be a non-factor. I myself have been in there many times and altho it was never a warm and fuzzy type place I'm not feeling real good about them closing. Just one more gun shop out of business and in this case I don't see that as a good thing. YMMV

Had mixed results there. Not one I visited often at all.

I may be more willing to look at their online store since it is essier to get to.

Although I did not go in a lot, Jason always treated me well.
And they did/do have a nice selection of firearms, a lot of higher end guns that you could look at and handle.
You just had to ask, my LWRC came from them.

It's never good to have another brick and mortar shop close down.

That is unfortunate. I have bought from them before, and like others said, it wasn't the friendliest experience, but they knew their stuff and had decent stock.

I know they had been burglarized a couple times over the years, and I am sure that risk minimizes for them with no sign out front. Sad to see any decent shop close, but I bet it will help out USDS and Atkinson.

Sucks to hear. I've spent plenty of money of there. Jason always treated me well and knocked off quite a bit on my purchases.

I never had a problem there but going online only doesn't seem very smart, it's not like they have the inventory of buds or classic.

 

[chubbs]

I never had an issue. I enjoyed going in and talking to Russ years ago and never had an issue with Jason. I hope the best for Jason, just not sure an online store is the answer.

It is sad to see another long established shop leave the market. They've been around over 30 years, everyone there always treated me very well. Leeloo and I will both miss visiting with the guys and the great deals.

Unfortunate to see a local shop go out. Elmore's has always been a favorite stop when I'm down visiting the in-laws in G-Wood.

Best of luck to the team down there in their next venture.

Never had a bad experience there. Bought a N.M. AR trigger from them (among other things) and they installed it no charge while I waited.
The "Glade Industrial Ashtray" fragrance was an acquired taste but it's better than some of the odors at the 1500.

I met Russ years ago. He was definitely a unique guy in his own way. I remember the first time I went int his shop and saw his assortment of firearms. Wow! They had stuff that had just been released or was still on the cover of various magazines. Very knowledgeable too. Even if you were looking for a needle in a haystack, Russ could tell you right away if he had that small part and go right to where it was. Even after the burglaries he kept his doors open. Tried to retire and sell the business, but reopened when he was hearing of the new owners not taking care of the old customers. The smoke in the shop was the only downside to me. But, his shop, his rules. Anybody remember his three cards he kept behind the counter?
