If its a long string of numbers its probably the Serial Number of the rifle. This is an identifying number, unique to that rifle and that rifle only. When the rifle was issued to a soldier the Serial Number was written down in the records, and he was responsible for returning the weapon when he left the service.

Individual parts might have a number stamped on them, having to do with the production of the rifle.
