Is that from spent rounds or something else?

Well, if it's anything like the XM-8 was, the plastic grip melts in the user's hands...

You burn your hands on the MAG-58 trying to do fire and movement with it. Because it has no fore grip. So out of habit people grab it by the barrel to pick it up. You need to carry it by the top handle.
