Are original 1894 carbines generally harder to find and worth more than the rifles? 

Also where to the calibers sit on the rarity/price scale? I’m guessing 25-35 is hardest to find carbine, how does 32-40 compare to 30-30?  

No, they are neither harder to find, or worth more than a similar condition Rifle.  

Here in the U.S., a SRC in 32-40 is the least common caliber (and harder to find).  In Australia, I suspect that the 25-35 WCF is very difficult to find.

Thanks Bert! Was the 32-40 an unpopular caliber when they were being made?  

No, not particularly, but it did not have the ballistic performance that the smokeless powder cartridges provided.
