The ww2 rifle of course. Lower tier AR platforms are EVERYWHERE, but, how often do you see a garand? Assuming the garand is the carbine you're talking about.

I See them all over the place. Just visit the CMP store or Mail-order yourself one. There's no reason to pay the rip-off prices from resellers, when CMP sells Garands direct for the lowest price around. Don't feed the scalpers and shady resellers.
M1 Carbines are less available. You're gonna have to pay to get one.
just FYI they are vastly different rifles (M1 Garand vs M1 Carbine).

Also be aware a M1 Carbine is not always guaranteed to work and be trouble-free. And If you get a dud you are on your own. Extractor breaks? Need to Replace a barrel? Bad headspace? Gas piston fouled and needs to be removed? All require specialized tools and know-how, cannot just call customer-service for help.
M1.....
You can always improve the parts of a cheaper AR-15 as you have the money to do so. The modularity of the platform gives it a distinct advantage IMO.
m1 carbine if in good condition.
If the m1 is not in good condition, then neither.
Low tier ar15's are a dime a dozen. Why buy used low tier crap when you can get a new top tier ar15 for a little more.
