T50 flat head staples are too wide to fit. Any recommendations? Need flat head staples for chair recovery work.
Try T 20 Flat crown with 5/16-inch width

It sounds like you have a light duty stapler and are trying to use heavy duty staples. 1/4" refers to the length of the legs not the thickness of the actual staple. You probably just need light duty staples.
SOURCE: t50 stapler gun it worked for about 15
The spring in the magazine is not stiff enough to feed the staples as fast as the spring pushes the driver forward. This is a design flaw and the ONLY thing that has worked for me so far is to put 1 & 1/3 sticks of staples into the gun. This puts more pressure on the spring in the magazine and forces the column to feed faster. It's only good for about 10 - 15 shots, but it's better than nothing. I am currently seeking a more rigid spring that will fit around the rod to fix this problem. Will post as soon as I have a more permanent solution.
SOURCE: staples are stuck inside the stapler and will not come out
Typically you do not open these up.
Makes it difficult to remove stuck or wrong staples.
I have had good luck removing the staple ram rod and rapping firmly on the **** of the stapler against a wooden table. The idea is jolting the stuck staples into reverse out the way they went in. Tedious process but usually works. Removing the jammed staples in the nose at the striker plate requires using needle nose pliers and a sharp awl or small screw driver used on very small screws.
My T50 Arrow stapler is over 20 years old.
Still works great. Sometimes I slide in the wrong size staples by mistake. The process above usually works.
Good luck!

remove the spring loaded magazine from bottom rear of unit by pushing down on piece about two inches below curve section of rear end of handle push down gently and pull to rear staples go in front ofin same slot from which this magazine is removed load normally two clips if your dead empty when you return the spring follower back into place it follows the staples if if doesnt go all the way in you probably have to many remove some good luckd
