Yes, Garand (M1 rifle) clips hold eight rounds and go right into the magazine; it is a derivative of the Mannlicher system, like was used on the Carcano, the Mannlicher straight pulls, etc.

The Lee-Enfield .303 clip is much too wide for the clip guide of the Ishapore.

I wonder if you have fired that carbine yet? If not, you might not like it as much when you do. The recoil is bad and the noise is worse. Plus the flash hider does not reduce the muzzle blast as much as you might wish it did.
