Gal. nails for positive place ment guns
We are in the middle of framing a couple of decks and the PM can’t find any galv. joist hanger naails for our new Bostich gun.
Any out there have a source?
At least we have a palm nailer to get us by, but it would sure be nice for the next job.
Mr T
I can’t afford to be affordable anymore

I had the same problem with the same gun about a month ago. Run a search for Bostich N88RH-MCN nails in Tools for Homebuilding (or something close to that). The guys were plenty helpful with links to online suppliers. My own nail supplier finally came through for me though.
Do me a favor and log a request/complaint with Bostich. I did and got nothing but lip service... Maybe if they hear from enough people it will help. Also, I don't believe that true HD gal nails are available...
Here are a couple of links that get you the list of nails Bostitch makes for the MCN. With the code numbers you should be able to get local distributors to order them.

The code numbers are all there - but when you start to ask - you get answers for distributors like - they had some problems and haven;t given a new date to start shipments or they have been ordered for 3 months etc. This is what I found about 2 months ago and finally found on the shelf common nails which I used since they were for an interior use. It would be nice to get a straight story.
Ron,
I sent you a direct e-mail with a suggested contact at Bostitch. If you don't receive the message due to anti-spam filters, let me know.
