By the serial number on the rifle.
Need more information describing other markings found on the rifle. Tentatively, with a serial number that high, what you have is probably a Chinese Type 56 carbine.
There is no way to tell by the serial number. Look up photos on the web, for B-1 or B-3. these are the most common models. Chinese models are made by "BAM", "Shanghai" or Xisico. These are the most common.
