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.
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.

What makes this variant so rare?
Rather than guess from memory, I looked it up.

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.
