Quoted: I have recently moved to the Smyrna, Cobb County area and am looking for other individuals who are interested in building rifles, collecting, and shooting. Since I am new to the area, I am still trying to scout out reputable dealers, gun ranges, and shooting buddies. I have spent some time building AK's, but am now very interested in building, or assembling, some AR's. I don't have much expertise with AR's but would love to learn.

Since I'm a recent (28 month old) transplant here are my take on the area:
- Decent stores are Adventure Outdoors (Windy Hill & S. Cobb Dr.) and Hot Shots (Windy Hill & Austell)
- Decent PISTOL only range is Hot Shots
- Outdoor ranges include John's Mountain, Picken's County and Advanced Bullets.
- Indoor rifle range in Cobb is Ed's Guns, but take a respirator, you'll need it
- Buy parts off the internet or AR15.com dealers. Lowers can sometimes be had for a good price from The Gun Shop in Norcross (45 min drive) or Tommy at GA Precision (a long long drive).
- I'm embarrased that I didn't start building from the beginning. The AR is such a simple, modular design you'll be kicking yourself.
If you want to go shoot some ARs with an AR noob then I go to Pickens Co range every other weekend or so. IM me if you want to tag along.
