Taken from Yardstore's product page on 2026-09-29. Where the listing does not state a figure, this table does not either.

What it is for

The 0.498" shank is the bigger of the two standard shanks: it does not take the 0.401" sets used by the 2X, 3X and 4X. Buy 0.498" sets with it. The listing does not state a stroke for this gun; it gives the barrel length instead.

It has the same aluminum and steel ratings as the 0.401" 4X, on the heavier shank. The rivet sizes themselves are on the AN470 page.
