I have a Grizzly G6049 angled finish nailer that keeps skipping firing
occasionally and then lodging a nail halfway in and halfway out. At
first it happened on 2 inch nails only, but lately it is happening on
all lengths. I have to disconnect, unjam the gun and push the driver
back down. This happens every 3 to 8 shots with the 3 being 2 inch nails
and the 8 being 1.5 inchers.

I was thinking this may be a compressor problem towards the low end of
the psi range it is factory set at(70 psi) but it is happening up to 80
psi. I guess the compressor, a Grizzly 2.5 hp. G8889 might have a
really bad gauge, but it would have to be off by 10-15 lbs since the gun
operates at 70-125 per the specs.

Any opinions as to whether this is a gun problem or a compressor
problem? The compressor cannot be set higher than 70 at the low end.

Well it sounds like a recoil problem. You may want to be sure that the gun
is not bouncing away from the wood when you shoot. Secondly I shoot my
Senco gun at about 110#'s. 70 # sounds quite low and can also cause this
problem. The specs of you gun operating at 70# should be for thinner woods,
softer woods, or shorter nails.
