Here you go: NRA ARTICLE ON WINCHESTER GARANDS. Their contract went 1939-1945.

It's sort of a common knowledge thing, I'm surprised the guys selling them don't know that. Winchester only produced WW2...the later builds were two satellite companies that started up well after the fact.

Winchester production
The first M1 rifle sent to Winchester to study and evaluate was Springfield serial number 1607 in Sept 1938, none of the other firearms manufacturers receiver any examples.
Winchester production started in Dec 1940 and ended in 1945 with the Win 13

Another common knowledge item is that Winchester Garands are known as the poorest-finished yet most-desirable Garands. Hilarious but true.

My mistake, you are correct. I have been following the posts on the CMP forum and I thought some were saying that their orders were refused. Can't find those posts now, must have been my imagination.
