Why is there a reduction or loss of power in my Remington Nail Gun?
If your Remington Nail Gun experiences a reduction or loss of power, it could be due to the piston not returning to its full rear position. Ensure the barrel is fully extended to properly position the piston. Another cause could be a worn piston ring or a broken piston. In this case, replace the piston and/or piston ring or take the tool to your distributor.
What to do if my Remington 495 does not fire?
If your Remington Nail Gun does not fire, this could be due to several reasons. One reason is the tool may not be completely depressed. Refer to the troubleshooting steps for 'Tool does not completely depress'. Another potential cause is the piston not being fully reset; ensure it is fully reset. Finally, dirt buildup on the sear or a worn firing pin can prevent proper firing. Check the firing pin mark on the power load, and clean the firing pin guide, sear, and firing pin. Replace any worn or damaged parts. Do not attempt to clean the power load strip channel with a wire brush, as this may damage the tool.
Why will the power load strip not advance in my Remington 495 Nail Gun?
If your Remington Nail Gun's power load strip will not advance, it could be due to a damaged advance bar or spring. Replace the advance bar or springs to resolve this. Another possibility is that the tool is dirty. Clean the tool thoroughly, but do not attempt to clean the power load strip channel with a wire brush, as this may cause damage.
How to fix rough or binding barrel movement on a Remington 495 Nail Gun?
If the opening and closing of the barrel on your Remington Nail Gun, or pushing down on the tool, is rough or binds, it's likely due to a lack of proper cleaning. Inspect and clean the entire tool thoroughly. Replace any worn or damaged parts. Remember, do not attempt to clean the power load strip channel with a wire brush to avoid damaging the tool.
What to do if my Remington 495 Nail Gun does not completely depress?
If your Remington Nail Gun is not depressing completely, it may be due to misassembled or damaged sear, firing pin parts, or guide. Remove the firing pin guide and check all parts to ensure they are correctly fitted and assembled.
Why is my Remington Nail Gun overdriving fasteners?
If you're experiencing overdriven fasteners with your Remington Nail Gun, it's likely due to excessive power. Try switching to the next lower power load or using a fastener of the next longer length.
What causes a jammed piston in a Remington Nail Gun?

How to fix a Remington 495 when the piston hangs out of the muzzle?
If the piston hangs out of the muzzle of your Remington Nail Gun, it could be because the tool is overdriven. Tap the piston on a hard surface until it is pushed back into the guide. This is related to over-driven fasteners. The issue may also arise if the piston is not properly assembled in relation to the stop. Remove the barrel assembly and replace any damaged or missing parts. Finally, a broken piston or piston ring could be the cause. Replace the piston or piston ring, or take the tool to your distributor.
