Which Size Gun Nails?

G'day All

I am in the process of restoring two double hung sash windows and I bought my self a Senco Pro Finish35 nail gun. The query I have is what size nails to use for the architraves and the beading?

TIA:)

For small fine work try a bradder, I noticed Supacheep had a 50mm bradder , a staple gun, brads , staples, carry bag and some other stuff for $99 , It was in the latest cattledog

Thanks for that but I already bought the Senco gun so I am looking for rough idea of the size nails to use for it.

Cheers

Length of nail = thickness of architrave + wall sheeting + about 20mm.
So for instance, 12mm archs + 10mm plasterboard + 20mm = 42mm. You could go 45 or 50mm.
