Coils, I have a type 38 with the dust cover and it does rattle opened or closed, bad. Kyle's rifle does not look like a last ditch but a typical late war jap rifle. The last ditch rifles did not have a graduated sight, place for a cleaning rod, and a lot had smooth bore barrels. The really bad last ditch rifles didn't even have a safety on them.
Kyle, I see a block under the barrel band with a hole in it. The hole is meant for a wire monopod. I have only seen a 2 rifles with this on them still. There was a place where you could get reproduction ones. But I don't know if it's still around. But you can still find reproduction slings for them.
