Hey thanks for the reply. 100-115 PSI depending on material and nail size Sinking nails perfectly A little oil from the trigger but not nearly as much No smoke I think you're right that an o-ring kit certainly couldn't hurt. A minor repair like that would be good practice for me as well.

I dismissed the "too much oil" issue since I always use 2-3 drops but I realized that it's entirely possible that one of my coworkers could have used way too much sometime recently.

Oh man... you should've seen me smack my forehead after reading your comment. Duh. Thank you very much for explaining the (very simple) mechanism that was eluding me for some reason. Trying to get comfortable working on my nailers since they're one of the few tools daily I use that are easily...

Yeah, I know

Yep, you nailed it! Got it back together pretty soon after the post and that was the issue. This is why I'm not a mechanic... Thank you!

Thanks for the reply! I've poured over the diagrams but still at a loss unfortunately

Non mechanically inclined Carpenter here. Had to take the nose/pushing lever assembly apart to clean a bunch of rust off and now the reassembly is absolutely kicking my ***. I cannot figure out how the silver pushing lever guide is supposed to sit. Doesn't really lock in anywhere, seems like...
