Hi Brian.....welcome to TFF.

That's a neat little carbine. I had a 152 many years ago when I was in high school (waaaaaaay back in the early fifties). It was compact, reasonably accurate, had that neat fold-down-handle front stock......and was a real fun plinker!

I killed a lot of those very dangerous Campbell Tomato Soup cans with that little baby. Wish I still had it.

The 152 (aperture sights) was made from 1948 to 1952.

The 152K (open sights) was made from 1950 to 1957.

Blue Book value for the 152:

98% - $150
95% - $135
90% - $125
80% - $100

The 152K is worth about $20-25 less.

No collector value here.....just take it out and shoot it and have a ball!!!
