Hello everyone I got my first 22 hornet and I have a problem. I need a magazine for this rifle and was wondering if anyone had one that they would sell.

The issue that you will run into is the fact that Winchester only provided a single magazine with each Model 43 Rifle that they sold.  Spare factory original magazines are difficult to find.  There were a few companies that manufactured reproduction magazines, but quite often, they do not fit & function very well.  Years ago I bought (2) repro magazines for my Model 43 22 Hornet, but seldom use them.  Most of the time I single feed the cartridges when shooting at the range, or varmint hunting.  Fast follow-up shots are very seldom ever needed.

could a 218 B magazine be modified to fit the 22 hornet?

No, it cannot.  The 22 Hornet is the one unique magazine for the Model 43.

Sorry, no.  I have unmarked factory mags…. they look the same as those with the “B” follower (.218 Bee)…

They may “look” the same, but they physically are not the same (or interchangeable).
