Will this gun shoot the 3 1/4 hot dipped ring shank nail? Why isn't there a nail / fuel combo with this nail? All I can find in hot dipped is the 3 inch, but there is the 3 1/4 in bright smooth.

the 3 1/4 brights are the limit! don't think it will drive ring shank 3 1/4

Yes it will shoot the ring shank , but hard on the gun,.....they just started the nail and gas combo, along with new gun ...I would think they are marketing most common nails

The scope arrived with the wrong red dot fast fire III. I called Amazon and they corrected the problem on the spot and I had it in two days. I mounted the unit and headed to the range. The Burris XTR works great, zeroed in 4 rounds and is in use for my 3-gun competitions. I have shaved off all kinds of time getting on target quickly. Hope this works for you and good luck. MRH

I am unsure what a pin nailer might be. It must be a regional term. Brads, I guess could be called "pin-nails" It will handle 18 guage brads from 3/8" to 2 inches. Mine is a fantastic machine that is easily unjammed should one occur and has very few misfires. Hope this helps

I carried the gun to the supply house and they gave me the correct nails. I would not buy this gun again because of the multiple safety problems. simply not needed an over kill that is extremely time wasting. I bought this gun for the name. Sorry I did.

Standard 30 degree, there are a few different manufacturers that make them and they are pretty much standard stock at most lumberyards and big box stores, I used this model gun for about 8 years now and have never had a problem finding nails

Hi, good question. I'm not sure exactly what the bump fire mode is, but I believe it does have it. If you depress the trigger and continue to "bump" the gun successively, it will shoot a nail each time. If that's what you mean, then yes. I'm not sure if it's as fast or can do as many nails successively as a compressor gun, but it can do several. I've just never pushed it to the max.

With this gun or any other airless gun you will have problems going through oak stair treads and if the framing lumber is old and also hard wood don't even try it. You will get recoil and the nail will not sink at all. Most times you will have at least 1/4 to 1 inch of nail exposed that you can't sink with a nail set and you will have a hell of a time getting the nails back out. I have Senco Fusion and Bostitch and neither would do it you might ruin the gun as well.

No problem. I've used it on 3/8" thick siding with great results along with heavy framing and metal connectors. I've found on the 1 1/2 - 2" nails you will need to turn your pressure down to about 50 psi and then ajust it up until you get the right penetration. I would suggest that if this is the only application you will be using this on, get a lighter gun. If you want an all purpose gun, this is the one to get.

I don't do a whole lot of re-roofs, I like to start with a clean, sound deck but I've done a couple of small re-roofing jobs and I haven't had any issues with this gun, you may have to adjust the air pressure or the nail depth on the gun itself but no issues driving the 1 3/4 nails, hope this helps

Agree with previous response, it's something you'll get a feel for. New users always have the double-tap issue for a few coils. You'll get past it. It's better to have a light trigger, let the gun recoil, a light hand helps. For nail placement, you get a feel for it over time. I tell our guys to use the gun's tip as a reference: "a little wider than the nailer tip"Good purchase though!

I frame houses for a living. I've used this gun and previous version for going on a decade. The metal connector shoots any standard 21 degree nail .131 through .148 thickness by 1 1/2'' through 2 3/8'' length. In other words you don't need ''metal connector nails'' . The metal connector does not shoot gun 16s.

I have just gone through the entire manual and can not find anything that says weather it is at 35 or 21 degrees.... sorry! But, the nails I use in the gun are as follows and are the cheapest in the hardware store (BUNNINGS) where I am in Australia. "DUO-FAST" STRIP NAILS S3.1 x 75 plastic collated. Box of 3000. Reorder code D30500. I have checked on the nail box as well and there is nothing on there either as to the degrees they are set at. I hope this helps... :)

It does have to be "bumped" in order to shoot the gun. The trigger can not be pulled and nails start shooting out. This is the safety factor for this nailer. You have to push the nailer and pull the trigger at the same time for this to work.

Hi David, I have tried all kinds (7 different types) of pellets from pointed tip, round, flat, all types with no consistency. All these pellets ranged from 7.8 grains to 14 grains. I cannot find a pellet that shoots well past 15 yards. Anything past 15 yards is unpredictable with groups no better than 12 inches. I gave up trying. Ive been shooting guns for over 30 years and this was just frustrating to say the least. Ive even tried 3 different scopes on the gun and still no luck. So Im pretty sure it wasnt me. Id look into buying another gun. Maybe this gun I received was just defective or something. Good luck.

Mine came with 2" fasteners........... 1,000 of 'em. Excellent gun. First job shot 4000 SS nails without a misfire.

Son, this gun drives framing nails! I use JSB Exact domed pellets (8.44gr) and Beeman crow magnum (8.8) with good accuracy and power. Lodges far into 2x4's. I would use Beeman Silver Arrow pointed (11.57) but i think they might be the exact length of the revolver magazine tube- leading to jamming issues either on the point or the skirt of the pellet. But anyways- this gun is the IT accessory to treat yourself to!!!

Use standard nails for nail guns from any hardware supplier... nothing special. I like this gun.
