I purchased a used 496 which uses .27 charges which I have.
I could not get it to fire so I sent it to a repair shop specializing in these devices.
The repair facility assured me the "nailer" as I think of it, works fine.
I still can't fire it & do not believe the trigger mechanism "snaps".
I pull the barrel fully extended then pull it back into the gun, press it hard into the surface being nailed and nothing fires.
Yes I have inserted the fastener and have inserted the charge strip upward until the bottom of the strip is flush to the handle bottom as the directions indicate.
Is there a certain procedure I am not following?
