Default Porter-Cable nailer repair?

mm wrote:
I lent my FR350 to a friend who proceeded to jam it up, and then
'repair' it. The gun was not old at all, and worked well untill then. He
took the magazine apart and wasn't able to reassemble it. Even with the
exploded view from the website, I wasn't able to reassemble it either.
There may be a missing spring also. I took it to my not so local
DeWalt/P-C/Delta repair center (along with a compressor as mentioned in
a previous post), where they quoted me a price of 'at least' $129 to
fix. Does anyone know of a repair shop around Chicago or its suburbs who
repairs air nailers? Google doesn't come up with much at all. I hate to
just toss it out, but it doesn't make sense to spend that kind of money
to rerassemble it. Thanks, Mark


Did you try the detailed, exploded diagrams at:

I've been able to rebuild most of my PC tools just from their
diagrams/parts list.
