Russian something

[newchi]

Can someone tell me what im looking at here, i lost interest in guns around covid and have forgotten most of what i learned here.
I thought it was a letter gun, but L isnt a letter, so light strike of some other stamp.
It also has black bolt, milled trigger group, bare metal rear sight, blank receiver cover.

Couldn’t tell you what the “L” stamp is, possibly a partial strike from a square refurb stamp. The carbine itself is a ‘52 or earlier Russian SKS45 based on the top square shoulder on the receiver round. The Blank cover indicates that part at least was swapped during refurb and the stripped RSL & black bolt is also a heavy refurb traits.

Looks like a "6" stamped on the carrier fore end.

Not definitive, but number stamps are commonly seen on Middle East contract carbines captured by Israeli military.

Do you have a photo of the serial number on the carrier?

Looks like 69 on the carrier and the frame.

Nice laminate stock, stock is a replacement?

and is this rifle an old Century import?

[newchi]

its in canada.   The stock numbers match the trigger group, the bolt, frame, receiver cover match each other.
