When did NY last allow select fire rifles?

[freddy]

Was there a time when NY civilians (not FFL or manufacturers) could legally get full auto or select fire rifles? When did that change? Was there a law passed for this?

Considering that NY didn't vote for independence, I'd have to go with never.

up to early 1930's....31 or so as the Tommy gun was a gangster favorite...corrections ok...

Google "Mad Dog Coll" and find out the story.

What was NY's stance on NFA stuff before the '94 AWB? Before '86 I imagine it was possible?

That is what I would guess.

I knew guys who had full-autos in NY, but I don't know when it was.

There were probably more than a few WWII bring-backs. I don't think it was legal since the 1930's.

About the only time I could guess would be before repeating rifles existed. Then you had to "select" which rifle to fire.

This is an excellent question, we all know this state went full on Bolshevik in 1911 with the Sullivan Act, I would hazard a guess that it was the 1960s when the whole country began going to hell.
