A stapler comprising a base, and a cartridge assembly coupled to the base. The cartridge assembly includes a magazine having a magazine housing with a dispensing opening and a rail positioned in the magazine housing.

A rail retractor is adapted to engage the rail and move the rail from the static position to the retracted position to facilitate removal of a jammed staple.
