Manufacturer of Colt AR-15s Relocating To Texas
Colt Competition, a manufacturer of high end Colt AR-15 rifles in Canby, Oregon, is moving its firearms production to the 2nd Amendment supporting state of Texas.
According to CBS DFW,
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 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.
This move follows on the heels of Magpul’s recent decision to pull their manufacturing of the company’s highly popular polymer gun parts and accessories out of the radical anti-gun state of Colorado. The radical anti-gun state of Connecticut is posturing to be next. In reaction to the draconian gun ban recently passed in their home state, one of the oldest manufacturer of guns, Colt, has threatened to leave. After 175 years.

A big "HOWDY" to any other firearm/ammo producer that wants to take advantage of a business friendly attitude in Texas.
