I would like to obtain one. I'd love to have a really nice old one but the prices are pretty crazy! Which of the currently manufactured ones is the best quality?

Well, fact is there are decent USGI carbines on the market that can be had for less than the Kahr reproductions. I see them often enough.

$2,799!!!!If you want the best M1 “new production” Carbine, then I’d go with the Fulton Armory “CMP Match”:
Fulton Armory CMP M1 Match Carbine *
Exacting standards to historical specs, match grade accuracy, and best grade materials for newly fabricated parts such as the receiver.

I know that Chiappa makes some really nice ones, but they are chambered .22LR or 9mm rather than .30 Carbine, so that might not be what you're looking for.
They're almost as annoying as the "It ain't a Colt, then it ain't no 1911/AR-15!" or "If it ain't select fire, then it ain't no M4!" Brigade.
"match grade accuracy"
What kind of match?!? Being from the Missouri part of NC, I'm going to have to see one of those shoot.
And what the heck is an "AO"? Adjustable Objective?
That shouldn't be annoying. Certainly nothing wrong with originals. They generally hold value better than copies and are more desirable at resale time, should it come to that. Facsimiles may, in fact, be better than originals in some ways, but they will always be replicas.
