First of all the "slam-fire was eliminated due..
to the 1932 National Firearms act.
Couple points.
1. It's 1934 NFA act
2. The Ithaca 37 was first produced in 1937, well after the NFA act was passed.

The disconnector was put in because of liability/safety concerns, not the NFA. The sources I trust say 1973, while others say 1975. Everyone agrees that the point was in the early/mid 70's. Two of my 37's, made in the 60's, will pump-fire while my third, which was made in the late 70's will not.
