27 7/8" total length. Looks to be .30 caliber or larger. The only marking I see is the number 19. Thank you!!

I believe it’s a quick change barrel because of the interrupted threads. Perhaps German or Czech?
Soviet RP-46 medium machine gun, often called the Degtyaryov. The guns and parts were built in Soviet aligned nations such as Hungary, as well as in China. The code would indicate the factory where it was produced, but number 19 doesn't strike me as familiar.
6L ????
Thank you Mark!! Now to find someone who need one.
that bell mouth muzzle is a giveaway if you have watched very many russian Great War movies. the gun uses the round flat magazine rotating on top of the receiver. i think that magazine held around 60 cartridges. its rate of fire was similar to the Bren gun or the Bar.
