Good Day
I have reciently purchased a Porter Cable 18 gauge narrow crown stapler.
I have shot about 50 staples and it quit working. The drive pin comes down but
when I took it apart I found that the drive pin is not receeding far enough to allow the staples
to make it into the chamber. The tension behind the staples is fine.
I bought it on e-bay and it is being replaced but I get to keep this one.
Any idea on how to resolve this?

Is this a new pinner, or a used one? Typically I only have that kind of problem with any gun if it needs to be cleaned and/or oiled. Sometimes you can just manually push it back all the way once and it seems to get "unstuck." Those are my first two thoughts.
Peace,
