BRECKENRIDGE (CBS 11 NEWS) – A firearms company that makes AR-15 style rifles for the iconic brand Colt, will open a plant in Breckenridge in Stephens County. Oregon company Bold Ideas confirmed the development Friday.

Bold Ideas goes by the name Colt Competition, making high accuracy rifles for competition shooting.

The company has not officially announced the opening, but employment applications are already available at the Breckenridge Chamber of Commerce. A non-specific, help wanted ad appeared in the local newspaper classifieds earlier in the week.

Sources say Colt Competition will move into a large vacant industrial space on the north side of town, previously used by Karsten Homes to manufacture mobile homes.

The move by Colt Competition into Breckenridge comes as the CEO of Colt Manufacturing in Connecticut has said there will soon be few good answers to keep his company in the state. Connecticut passed some of the nation’s most restrictive gun laws this week.

It also comes weeks after Governor Rick Perry reportedly sent letters to gun companies, encouraging them to move to Texas. Perry sent a message on Twitter to Colorado company Magpul as recently as March 21, saying “Come on Down to Texas.” The Governor’s office did not confirm Friday if it had sent a recruitment letter to Colt Competition.

Hell we didn't even have a light just a 4 way stop sign. Only food close was a homestyle kitchen that would open during the summer at a fruit stand, if you wanted McDonald's or anything of the such it was a 30min drive. You can look out the front door of my parents house and see a wheat feild that's around 800 acres and on the other side is the shithole they call Oklahoma.

If I'm not mistaken Breckenridge has a single stop light in downtown. At least, that's the only one I ever remember stopping at. It may literally be a single light town.

One of the board members on here owns the pizza shop in Breckenridge, I can't seem to remember who it is though.

Breckenridge was BOOMING back in the early 80's. The oil downturn and it was instantly a ghost town.

Would love to see some top tier presence supporting the state.

I also confirmed that halo/horns owns Jeffro's in Breckridge, he was the guy I was thinking about.

So when Texas has all the gun manufacturing in house, does that signal the border fence construction on the north, east and west boundaries?

That sure would be nice.

Who was she married to? I'm pretty sure it was another board member but can't place the name.

Whoever's from Breckenridge, do they sell beer there? Reason I'm asking is that I go camping at PKL alot at the State Park and whenever we need to make a beer run (which has happened a couple of times) we always go all the way to Palo Pinto. Just wondering if Breckenridge is closer to the State Park and if they sell beer there anywhere.
