If I recall correctly, those are a quite rare AR-10 variant with single digit amounts still surviving. The featureless muzzle in this picture always catches my eye.
What features would you otherwise find on a muzzle?
A flashhider of some type would be seen on most variants sold by Armalite in the era.
An angry dog
What makes this variant so rare?
Rather than guess from memory, I looked it up.
The rifles were made on contract for KLM, and had a combination of features specific to that run. No one feature was too crazy, but this particular contract run of rifles was a small batch, and thus rare. 16 inch barrels with no muzzle device, semi-auto only, takedown pins on a chain.
takedown pins on a chain
That's a thing?! That's so smart!!! I gotta look into an aftermarket version of that. Like, I don't expect to lose the takedown pin nor do I think I'll ever really find myself taking it out somewhere I would drop it, but can't hurt to make extra sure I can't drop it.
The length of the chain may also be a detriment if you're carrying it anywhere it could snag.
The others were eaten by polar bears

She probably is hot wearing such a heavy coat, but it'll be needed under the same circumstances as the gun.
