   Yep, they'll work.  But maybe over kill.  3 1/4" bright common stick nails oughta do it and save you a few coins as well.  The boxes usually list which guns the nails are compatable with.  FR-350 are pretty common guns, but Hitachi NR-83 uses the same nails and shows up on more of the boxes.  Look for that.

   I agree with diesel....some things are over kill

   Some say to use 12-16d when framing. personally? I never would.

   I've always used 10's.

   And some say to use 6 nails per stud top and bottom....I use 4...top and bottom.

   Be hey....thats jus' me

   BE nailed

   Somebody went to a lot of trouble to determine the best way to stick a building together. Must get a kickback from the nail manufacturer - or sumpin'.

   I would use 3" nails, not 3-1/4", cuz they won't poke through the other side of a doubled 2x and snag your delicate skin as you squeeze by.

   Whenever you are asked if you can do a job, tell'em "Certainly, I can!"  Then get busy and find out how to do it.  T. Roosevelt
