Prior to 1968, the Astra Cub was imported in fairly large quantity, in both calibers. There was also a “Camper” model in the 22-caliber chambering with an extended barrel. The gun was made by Astra for Colt for a short time and marketed as the Colt “Junior,” with a conversion package available to switch calibers. It’s a fine little gun, and shooters and collectors now vie for the few remaining in circulation in the U.S. Until recently, the same basic pistol was made in America by F.I.E. Corp. as “The Best.” The instructions apply for all versions.
