My guess is a military prefix. It's not uncommon for there to be one next to a serial. Would be interesting if it had other connotations though.
Those letters mean "KL" in Cyrillic. My guess is that it is part of a series of SKS's made in bulk. KL, as far as I know, were not used in the Tula manufactories. There were other Soviet Bloc countries that made SKSs, like Bulgaria, Romania, and Yugoslavia. China makes them as well, but since the letters are not in Chinese, than that narrows it down to Eastern Europe.
Wish I could tell you better.
