Abstract
An improved nosepiece and nail feeding assembly operable to accommodate different nail packages within a range of nail sizes of 11/2' to 4'. The assembly includes structure defining the lower end of the drive track which includes a replaceable annular member at the discharge end made of wear resistant material and a feed tooth of substantial length disposed thereabove when a nail is being driven which closes the adjacent area of communication between the drive track and the nail feed track to avoid jams but is capable of resiliently yielding to avoid damage during inadvertent jams.
