A small number was shipped to Canada, though they were only really used as a last resort weapon and personal defence weapon.
International Business and Machine Corporation made this certain carbine in Late April or May 1944. It sounds like a great original Carbine.
It is no longer in use as a fighting weapon of war in the United States, but it commonly used for military ceromonies. The last war it was used in for fighting purposes by the United States was early in Vietnam.
Google search M1 Garand and M1 carbine. Also google search Mauser K98 and Arisaka type 99.
American soldiers used the M1 Garand rifle, the M1 Carbine, the BAR rifle, the Thompson Machine Gun, the Colt M1911 pistol, the M3 'grease gun' and the M1903 Springfield sniper rifle.
I would assume by the glider and infantry troops. All photos I have seen of American paratroops are carrying the M1 Carbine.

Are you referring to the M1 Garand, or the M1 carbine? A Garand can go anywhere from $500 to over $1000, all things dependent. An M1 carbine, generally, you'd be looking in the $400 - $700 range.

M1 carbines are semi-automatic and M2s are full automatic.
m1 grande or m1a1 carbine
Neither. The M1 Carbine had a Parkerized finish- sort of a flat gray with hints of green. It is a phosphate finish used on military firearms from the WW 2 period.
I'm sure there are hundreds of different opinions on the effectiveness of the M1 carbine. My father was in 4 campaigns of the European theatre and he would not carry the M1A1 carbine issued to him because of the lack of stopping power. He either used the M1 rifle or Thompson SMG. Mostly the Thompson.
