M.CITY AUCTIONS
NOTICE: On January 13, 2023, the Attorney General signed ATF final rule 2021R-08F, “Factoring Criteria for Firearms with Attached ‘Stabilizing Braces,’” amending ATF’s regulations to clarify when a rifle is designed, made, and intended to be fired from the shoulder. The final rule was published in the Federal Register on January 31, 2023.  

Cash Indiana, Inc no longer will accept any rifle caliber pistol with a stablizing brace for Loan or Purchase. These firearms are now classified as NFA and not allowed under our current FFL license.  Examples are AR Platform, AK47 platform, and HK Platform that do not meet the criteria of a Rifle (see below) as defined by ATF.
