I just bought a Mastercraft Contractor Sureshot Staple/Nail Gun/Wire Tracker today. I put the staples in and the very first staple jammed! Had to take gun apart to get it out!! Now I can't get it back together because it completely exploded. I have searched you tube finding no help. Does anyone a diagram on how to get it all back together properly?
Maybe the mfg has a pictorial of it on their web site. Or google for it.

Most of the staple gun models lack an "anvil" — the metal plate with curved slots that office staplers use to bend the legs of the staple inwards and flattens them against the paper. Staples set with a staple gun retain their straight legs, and are held in place only by static friction of the legs against the compressed surrounding material, much like common nails. Indeed, some staple gun models can handle brads and nails as well as staples. Some staple guns also use divergent point staples where the legs twist as the staple drives into the surface providing superior holding power.

At the very botton of the stapeler in the back there should be a square mechanism press in and down then just slide the staples in and eplace the mechanism the way you took it out
SOURCE: see above
This is an older b&d stapler but the designs are similar in most cases. The position of the springs, and the order you put them in, are an obvious factor.
The parts that overlap go in after the parts underneath.
When you have one half assembeled you should not have to force the cover to go on, it should just sit in place while you put the screws back in.
If the handle coil spring and the flat spring are not seated properly the top cover will not go on easily.
These types of staplers are designed to clear from jamming without being taken apart, the staples, under normal circumstances, do not have access to the body of the unit past the flat spring.
As with any tool forcing the tool after a fault will only make matters worse, I would try some light oil or spray lubricant first before taking anything apart, these springs can be a pain to get back in, which is why I have not taken this one any further apart. Hope this helps you. If it does please let fixya know.

SOURCE: how to remove jammed staples in staple gun?
Take out the small bolt that is secured with a nut at the back of the gun (at the end where you feed the staples) -- then drop the inset. Now you have access to the jammed area. Clear out jammed staples and put the stapler back together. Easiest way is to hold the nut and turn the bolt from the other side.
Here is the link but I copied the instructions here too

Loading Staples or Nails
Make sure there are no staples or nails jammed from previous usage by checking the handle operation.
CAUTION: IF A STAPLE OR NAIL IS JAMMED, POINT THE GUN AWAY FROM
YOURSELF AND OTHERS BEFORE OPENING THE TRACK AS THE JAMMED
STAPLE OR NAIL MAY BE FIRED OUT UPON OPENING
i) Point the bottom of the gun away from you and turn gun sideways.
ii) Turn gun up, grip track release buttons and push away to release, then slide the track out, as shown (fig. 1).
iii) Insert a strip of staples in the chamber with the legs pointing up (fig.1a). If nails are required, turn gun upside
down and tilt the gun away from yourself and load on the right hand side (as indicated on graphics at the
staple and nail exit) with point facing upwards (fig.1b) THE GUN MAY JAM IF NAILS ARE INSERTED IN THE
WRONG SIDE.

iv) Slide staple or nail track back into closed position - a click indicates that it is locked in position.
Your staple and nail gun is now ready for use.
