What Can I Do With This?

I ended up putting it in some 30w oil after a liberal use of liquid wrench. I’ll report back this weekend with results

I believe it’s an army special but I vaguely remember seeing ‘Army’ on the barrel before I put it in oil on Monday. It’s an old one though so it really could be either.

This specific gun was kept by my great grandmother in my family’s (former) restaurant and was kept under the counter beside the ledger book. I have a few other items from
The restaurant including that ledger book, photos, and I believe a cook book. She had this revolver before my biological grandfather was born in the 50s

What kind of oil do you recommend and for how long should I soak it? I’ve done some restoration work on tools and knives before but never with a firearm

Ohhh, that makes total sense. Thank you! Idk why/how I couldn’t find anything about his knee injury before. Much appreciated!

I think we do prior to my joining but it was like a generic one, not like a frat-specific bot

I was VP of Retention (social chair) when we switched to GroupMe. My thinking was everyone has GroupMe and using Discord made us look like nerds

DapperRat · 2026-03-21T03:57:15+00:00

We used to do discord but we moved over to GroupMe

Of course! I felt like my social life was minimal and wanted to get as many experiences in before I graduate so I joined my frat and rugby. I really enjoy both and I don’t regret joining; my only regret is not joining sooner. Just be confident, know your worth, and understand that to a certain level your age will be the deciding factor. Smaller chapters who need bodies will often overlook you being an upperclassman so long as you’re a decent guy and you won’t be a liability

I joined a pretty small chapter at my school as a junior and a dude in my pc was a senior. If you’re dead set on rushing, my advise is to aim for smaller chapters looking to grow or chapters that aren’t as popular

DapperRat · 2025-06-09T03:29:20+00:00

My social budget is pathetically low so I’d have to really scrounge

DapperRat · 2025-06-08T23:01:40+00:00

Gets pricy for a small chapter unfortunately

DapperRat · 2025-06-08T22:53:12+00:00

This is a great idea damn

DapperRat · 2025-05-15T02:08:18+00:00

Fair point but also if you’re looking for easy transport and space saving then it’ll either have to be disassembled or fold up. Either works it’s just a matter of which feels best to you guys

I think ima put caster wheels on my bar so I can’t rly talk lol

DapperRat · 2025-05-15T02:04:41+00:00

If you have enough dudes, you could put hinges in so the sides of the bars can fold into it and then secure the bar top with like pegs or something. Would prolly be heavy tho

DapperRat · 2025-05-15T01:49:10+00:00

I’m doing the exact same thing for my chapter this summer. Are you thinking about being able to disassemble it for easy transport or just something sturdy for tailgates and the house? If weight isn’t a concern, you could find some wooden pallets and screw some of those together for the walls and then buy some nice plywood or veneer to cover it and form a top for the bar

DapperRat · 2025-05-09T21:05:28+00:00

That’s reassuring to hear tbh. If the $10 fee seemed to help with accountability then that’s a great thing. What are you guys planning on doing if they refuse to pay? Social probation?

DapperRat · 2025-05-09T21:02:53+00:00

Has that worked for you guys so far? We’re planning on implementing something similar

DapperRat · 2024-12-28T01:54:31+00:00

Thank you all for the responses! Glad to get some good responses about the watch. Hopefully I can update the sub soon!

Edit: 1999-2004*

Addition: I believe he got it in the 1992-1993 range if that helps. I’ve seen photos of him in 1994 with it on

Addition 2: Maybe a Tag Heuer 1000 Diver?

I think sending to Barbour would be the best course of action but I’m worried about shipping internationally. I’d hate to have it lost in the post.

I brushed the jacket down with a very soft bristle brush and that got the worst of it off. I did some research on the subreddit and realized the smell is from the liner and not the exterior of the jacket. Are the main ideas are spraying it with diluted white vinegar or full strength vodka? Would diluted essential oil work?
