Its nearly 50 years ago, but, I seem to recall that Epps actually did use some of Bishops stocks in his various conversions.
His best work was actually quite decent, but, he did not have a sense of line and proportion equal to that of Al Biesen whose rifles could be had legally in the Kootenays of BC where I lived then and, of course, the JOC influence was strong.
I just missed a G33-40 .257 that he did in a relatively classic style a couple of years ago, thot about it too long......well, too many guns as it is.
