Your nailer uses a very common and lowest price nail when using bright nails. Other varieties are expensive, stainless, twisted, galvanized, so if you are a big user not a problem. I on the other-hand do not use very many nails in a years time. A case of nails will last couple of years. A box of stainless or galvanized will be an expensive proposition. Because of the weight of case of nails, shipping is very expensive unless you find speicals. At www.toolbarn.com , you will get free shipping for orders of $200 (less than 70lbs). Best bet is to find local dealers, and right now because of the economy, special pricing. Look for deals on broken cases of nails. I usually find broken/open cases of nails at Lowes for half price. Buy what ever you come accross that is a good price because nails have a long shelf life if you can keep them dry. Good holiday

I would check the tension on the spring that pulls the nails into position. Make sure that when the rack of nails is out, that the loading mechanism is reaching the top of the gun. I would also recommend that you oil the gun prior to each use. If you are using it regularly through outt the day, then I would definitely recommend oiling it through out the day.

Use 34 degree, paper collated, clipped head nails. They were always the most common strip nails years ago as Senco, Paslode, and a number of other nailers used them.
SOURCE: Can you use 30 degree nails in a Porter Cable FC350 34 degree nailer?
Yes, you can use 30 degree clipped head nails in the Porter-Cable FC350 framing nailer. The FC350A and FC350B nailers are newer models that specify the 30-34 degree clipped head nails. Make sure that the nails are between 2' - 3 1/2" in length. The manuals for each of the later models do not explicitly list the 30 degree nails. Their specifications page do list the 30 degree nails. See http://www.portercable.com/Products/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=11542 and https://www.homedepot.com/p/Porter-Cable-3-1-2-in-30-Degree-to-34-Degree-Clipped-Head-Framing-Nailer-FC350B/203555581 . The manual for the FC350 is available here: https://www.manualslib.com/manual/132288/Porter-Cable-Fc350.html . It is the same as the manual for the FC350B, https://www.homedepot.com/catalog/pdfimages/7e/7e0d0f88-a9e7-4411-ad0f-7fc5c1c1fbaa.pdf .
I hope this helps.
