Yes it is. I have the same cyrilic script on one of my M39's bolt.
"If A is success in life, then A equals x plus y plus z. Work is x; y is play; and z is keeping your mouth shut."

Don't think it's a word. The marks I can see are the Russian equivalent of lsssg, with an odd u after this
C.S.S.A. + C.C. F.R.
Sup brahs. Finally shot my baby. I suck with iron sights because of my damaged eye. Need to wear close distance lenses to see the sights- however this makes the target very blurry. In any case I sort of got used to the sights but I certainly noticed my rifle shoots a tad high and tad to the left.
In any case shes a beast and certainly a beautiful milsurp.
The four letters in the middle are “CCCP” which in the Cyrillic (Russian) alphabet is Союз Советских Социалистических Республик which in English translation means: Soyuz Sovetskikh Sotsialisticheskikh Respublik or the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics which simply means the former Soviet Union in short. There are some symbols before and after which are most likely some proofing marks. This bolt without any doubt was manufactured in the former Soviet Union.

I've got some Lapua 7.62x 53R brass coming. The dies I have come with the .308 neck.
Has anyone checked or found if these barrels are .308 or .311??? Or a worn .308?
Any best bet for bullet type and weight?
Type of powder ? IMR 4064 shows up in the Sierra book?
The bores are .310 and meant to shoot .311 bullets.
Keeping it real on the range since before there was a CGN.
i finally had a chance to take mine out last weekend (1944 VKT) that came from Tradex
first of all, the rifle looks brand new, in and out and its got a war time stock that looks minty & flawless.... Thank You Anthony & David
we tried it with MFS 185 grain fmj with satisfactory results, while Bulgarian surplus was even better....pumpkins were gettin blown at 150 & 200 yards with ease....im one happy camper with this one
