How to Clean a Cobray

The M-11 9mm is a sub-machine gun manufactured by the Cobray Company. During the 1970s and 1980s, Cobray was also a counter-terrorist training center, in addition to being an arms manufacturer. The company had some legal difficulties after the federal ban on assault weapons and changed its name to Leinad. Leinad eventually closed down, but the Cobray trademark was kept by a privately-owned company within the United States which continues to manufacture parts and accessories for firearms. Regular care and inspection of the Cobray M-11 9mm sub-machine gun can help optimize its continued performance.
