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 makes this variant so rare?
The others were eaten by polar bears

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.
What features would you otherwise find on a muzzle?
An angry dog
A flashhider of some type would be seen on most variants sold by Armalite in the era.
Deleted scene of Princess Leia on Hoth.
Damn, Princess Leah did not take the destruction of Alderman well.
This is on purpose right?

Can’t find any images of a “whole hand gun trigger” or “gun trigger for mittens”

but damn she looks hot

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