what exactly is this gun?

i need to find magazines for this riffle

You have a sporterized Short Magazine Lee–Enfield Mk III, or No.1 Mk III Enfield.

Magazines and parts can be found here: https://www.brpguns.com/smle-no-1-mk-3-stock-magazine-parts/

iam sorry sir, but this is not my gun , this is a No.1 Mk III Enfield

it look very different from mine

 

[Alan R McDaniel Jr]

Yes, it does look different. That's why he said "Sporterized" and "or". But, if you're just looking for magazines, use the link provided.

ok thank you very much! so the sporterized model like mine were not being used in the military? are they rare? i am pretty ignorant on british stuff sorry

 

[Alan R McDaniel Jr]

No, not rare, in fact the rifle in the stock picture you posted is more rare than yours. Your's is simply a working rifle, if you can find a mag for it. Your's is a military rifle that has been "modified" to be used as a hunting rifle. It probably had a scope on it at one time since the mounts are still attached.

Clean it up, find a mag and you will have a rifle to use (if the bore is good and it shoots straight) or something you can sell for about $100 - $150.

At this point in the discussion, I would suggest you find a good Canadian gunsmith or gunshop at the least, and take your rifle in to make sure you get the right parts. They may offer you $75 on the spot, or maybe not.
