anyone know where I can find more info?

Yooper John’s web page used to be a good source for SKS info. Sounds like that is just the serial number of the gun, to me. Any date or arsenal stamps on it? Late production Russian SKSs didn’t have that info stamped on the gun. Earlier ones did, up until about 1954.

sksboards.com is a good source. If you post some pics of the gun, bayo, receiver and stampings I'll take a stab at it.

or dive in for yourself here:

Also, this might help. If your gun has one of these it has been refurbished at a Russian arsenal:
