puzzling over nail choices

you can get the nails to fit at most any hardware or building supply place. I’d go with galvanized nails if you can find them. they won’t rust. have fun, that framing nailer will save your shoulder and elbow.

thanks Joey….......I’ll try a hardware store next…....home depot has no nails less than 2 3/8” long…...funny because every framing nailer they sell has a range of 2’ to 3 1/2”

Hi is it for framing or finishing sounds like a gun more suited to finish cabinet making with max size of 2” anyway first thing to find out is nail gauge the use different gauges the smaller the number the thicker the nail so 16gauge is thicker than 18 gauge and so on good luck.Alistair

try lowes. thats where i get all my nails for my brad nailer. the lowes near me has a whole half an aisle devoted to just nail gun nails.

its a framing nailer…...the minimum size is 2 inches

2” galvanized nails is all you need and shoot them on a bit of a angle , they will hold better .
