Can you post some pics of the ACH?

I soaked it in CLP overnight to see if it would help with the gritty latches. The rattle is gone, but that's probably due to the clp. The latch is still audibly scratchy. I get that my old one would smoother some from use, but I don't remember being able to hear the latch move from the grit. I can run my finger along my old ACH and there is no resistance on any of the surfaces, but the new one you can feel your finger want to skip.
I feel bad about complaining so much about it to be honest but I've never had this out of the 6 or 7 ACHs I've owned.
I know there are color differences which doesn't bother, the new ACH (on the left) is about the same color as the old one is, it just looks darker depending on the light due to the texture of the surface. It almost could be described as porous which is why I thought it might be cerakoted, which would also explain the latch being gritty.
Sorry about the crappy photos, it's hard to get a close enough photo to show the surface in detail.
