Winchester was contracted to produce the M1 Garand in 1940 with the first completed rifle rolling off the production line on January 10, 1941.

By the time Winchester ceased M1 production in 1945, they had produced a total of 513,880 M1 Garand Rifles.

M1 forgery?

 

That would be the Japanese Type 4. During the end of the war the Japanese had many captured M1 rifles, and they attempted to reverse engineer it to make it work with 7.7 arasaka.
