From reviews I have read I would not recomend either of them, they are not the most practical, cost effective or reliable guns and are far from decent skirmish weapons, mor of models plinking guns not skirmish weapons, because theres the cost of gas the fact they fire 8mm they arnt particularly accurate or have a decent FPS and on the garand you would ahve to pick up the cartrage every 8 rounds, if you realy want a garand get an converted M14 Garand, if you want a reliable first gun get a Thompson and for an M1 Carbine I would wait for the S&S AEG ones to be made.
I beg to differ on the accuracy... they seemed pretty good when I tried them.
However because the bbs are so heavy, minimum of .34g, to get inside site legal limits for semi auto you end up with very slow fps on the garrand.
With the carbine this is less of a problem, but the M1 carbine should be a gun for close work, not the sniper rifle that the bb weight makes it. Hence the short barrel is a problem.
I am looking to get an M1 carbine at some point, but it'll be one of the S&S AEG ones most likely.
I've recently bought a Marushin M2 carbine (semi-auto), which is a great gun. I've not had the weather to fully test it, being winter so the temperatures aren't very kind to the gas, so its definatly a summer gun. From the limited testing ive done its a great gun. I wouldn't suggest it as a primary weapon or a first weapon.
Well I already have a TM Thompson, I'm just looking for something interesting to have that maybe, just maybe I could use on the field.
Actualy now I think back webby had a marisunin M1 Carbine and that fired very well.
That was a 6mm one - not made for a few years now. I wouldn't recommend an 8mm airsoft gun - ammo is prohibitively expensive, and as has been said already, a site should require you to have a lower FPS than for everyone else - thus your range will be doubly knackered by the heavier ammo and lower power.
You've got nothing to ein, zwei, drei, vier
Get one of these 
Im going to miss those along with my Ally kegs.
If its passed 9 there is a 95% chance im pissed.
Buy wood stocked cyma m14 and a lot of sandpaper 
Oops, that's done it
Just ordered an MP40 from gunners & 4 mags from rsov.
Think I'll have to buy a camo smock just to start off with then add all the other bits as funds allow.
Because of my connections with The Tank Mueseum I'll probably go for some sort of Panzer impression. Might get a cabby if PzIII or Tiger 1 roll out!!I know the Tiger has a rack for the MP40 in the Turret, did the crews carry standard belt kit or did they have an 'over the shoulder MP40 mag carrier/pouch?
Those M1 conversions look pretty good maybe the long haired general will let me get one in the future.

Hey great to have another german now you've switched sides - can you borrow a half track for us panzergrenadiers please? 
Now THAT would be a good way to enter a skirmish!
The first casualty of war is innocence.
The first casualty of airsoft is your wallet!
AGM have a very good reputation for reliability, and for the cost I would certainly recommend them. Though I haven't experienced the other one (which I assume is an Electric Blow Back?) and I do not know the conversion rates for currency I would still advocate the AGM.

The AGM is about 142 GBP and the SRC electric blow back is about 275 GBP
I think I'l go with the AGM and but some mid caps from King Arms.
The local retailer getting the AGM's says he's got 4 of the last of the last of the last AGM MP40's he could get, I've heard AGM is closing down or something because of the clampdowns?
The AGM has select-fire (semi, as well as auto). The SRC is full-auto only (which is realistic).
The AGM uses commonly-available magazines (the same mags as their Sten). Last I heard, like their MP5, the SRC ones only take their own mags.
and no doubt charge a premium for them

I wouldn't know. It's easier to get rocking horse manure...
sawdust?
ontargetairsoft.com here in america has alot of the SRC MP40 stuff, not sure if they export overseas though, i read somewhere though that midcaps for the SRC MP40 are coming out soon so that imo at least is a really cool thing
as he says above the src mags are very very hard to get and folks i know have had problems with them , the agm has been made for ages , harder to get now as asg bought tons of them and rebranded them as Asg
i know www.jdairsoft.net has them in stock.
