I know there are person or persons on these forums thats whoring the rifle to themselves. Post some pics.....Or perhaps a german cature svt?
 
There's a '41 rifle in a '45 stock on the EE. I think that might be as close as I'm going to get to one ��
 
Apparently they made about 50000 of them, and there are probly at least a hundred in Canada, some people that have them are probly unaware they got something special
 
Horilka sold me a nonrail podolsk. per history the are rare in the last production before factory close Aug 16th to Sept 12th '41 (more likely Sept). I fantasize it as a Stalingrad piece. Probably was.

Good Luck on finding a '45 theres less than 1000 ever

In 1945 they made no more than 999 rifles. 5 Jan 1945 Factory No.314 in Mednogorsk received an order to stop manufacturing. There are only four 1945 dated SVTs rifles known to collectors, two of them in ON, one is in US and another one in AB IIRC. All four belong to same prefix ДГ (thus the assumption about no more than 999 rifles).

I have had two of those in my hands. One I sold from my Shop, they other belonged to a dealer friend of mine in the USA and I was responsible for a mutual friends of ours buying it from him.
 
Was Was nice looking podolsk wide oval too. Just couldn't justify a 5th SVT at this time. I'd have to sell one or two rifles to make room my 2 cabinets are very full and there's only so much room for the tall rifles.

In terms of production, Im not sure anyone knows how many wide ovals are out there, but they would comprise about 10% of the Podolsks that I've seen. So maybe 15,000 made? That would be quite rare indeed, when you consider roughly 50,000 snipers made.
 
I'm kicking myself for letting a non-railed Podolsk with a late muzzle brake slip through my hands and keeping a railed 12 slot brake :'o
 
After missing both Podolsks in the same day I consoled myself with the '39. From what Horilka told me it is the earliest known SN, at least that he has seen.
 
This '39 rifle actually extended this table to Aug 1939. Indeed the earliest known rifle of whatever left of her after refurb.

Horilka is correct.

However I can only confirm the existence of two. Both in Ontario. There may be two more, but there are no pictures and one might actually be the same rifle that is now in Ontario, but was in BC before.

So possibly as low as 2 in all of Canada...

No more than 999 were ever made. Likely less.
