No problem. Best deal I've found lately.

They also have steel AR mags with anti tilt followers (Korean made but function fine and are more heavy duty than aluminum mags in my opinion) for $5.50 a pop.

Same $12.95 flat rate, all you can order shipping on anything.

The copper wash is rust preventative, but that's about all. This means that you are essentially sending a steel jacketed round down the barrel with every shot. Not surprisingly, this increases barrel wear.

If you have a "standard" AR, it's probably nothing to worry about. The money you save on ammo buying Tula will likely pay for a new barrel over the life of the barrel, and barrel changes on an AR are pretty easy. If you have a match grade barrel, bull barrel, or even a Wylde, maybe stick with ammo that has a proper copper jacket.
