It depends
Condition and where the rifle was made mean everything. Sounds like you are looking at a No. 1 Mark III from WWI and WWII. Check the bore, look for matching numbers on the bolt and receiver and overall condition. The price does not sound too bad and is about what a decent Enfield sells for today.
Surplus ammo availability varies and I have no seen any advertised for quite some time. Federal, Winchester and Remington sell brass so reloading may be the way to go,. The British Enfields tend to stretch cases and it is best to lightly full length resize or neck size the brass. My Enfields shoot well with 159 grain spitzers and IMR4895.
If the rifle was made in England, Canada, New Zealand or Australia and I liked it and it passed my examination i would make an offer. If it was made in India then I would pass on it. Hope this helps. All the best...
