Information on Remington Rifle

I had a Remington-Lee Magazine Rifle with date marks 1907-15 on it brought into my gun store. I have very little information about this firearm. I would like to know caliber and ammo information and also need a magazine for this firearm. It is in 60-70% condition and would like a value on it also.

    Believe the rifle is a Berthier ( Model 1907/15, French Army Rifle ). Remington made just under 10,000 for the frogs during the First World War. The Remington Lee was made during the 1880's & 90's, completely different rifle.

    If it looks like this it takes the standard French 8mm Lebel Rifle Cartridge. You need a special (3) shot clip for it to function. Both the clips and the ammo aren't real common or easy to get anymore. You have to hunt them up from Mil-Surp dealers on line, or folks who specialize in ammo for the old military rifles.
