First rifle I bought with my own money when I was 16 was a C-to-C Model 40. Actually had it out last week and shot it for the first time in probably close to 40 years. Functioned and cycled well. Still fun to shoot. $150 might be a tad high for an estimate of value, though . . . or it may not be.
Killed a lot of rabbits and squirrels with that rifle back in the day.
