Quick answer....

1941 at both Tula and Izhevsk.

There were earlier high wall receivers made specifically for snipers though. It's also not certain that Tula made high wall receivers for standard infantry rifles in 1941 because a 1941 Tula receiver has yet to be documented. They could very well have not made the transition until 1942 as Tula tended to make receiver transitions later than Izhevsk. http://7.62x54r.net/MosinID/MosinReceiver.htm
