I'd like to know how rare my SVT-40 is. It's a 1941 Tula with the serial number СН4525 (so not a sniper version) but with rails on the receiver. It also has a groove in the center of the rear sight, and a 2-port muzzle brake.
Спасибо!

That square box on top of the Tula star indicates a post war arsenal refurbishment, meaning many of the parts were replaced after WWII, including the muzzle brake. They simply used the later style when your rifle was rebuilt. It's a very common SVT40 and one that you should enjoy (carefully) at the range! It's more common to have receivers with the rails than without, by the way.
