things that wouldnt hurt to do would be;
- new hopup
- new piston oring
- new spring
- new battery
and if you really want to get crazy;
- new cylinder head orings
- new air nozzle orings

most of these can be replaced via a kit.

but the gun will be fine as is until your ready to replace these parts.

there are very few rubber parts. JUST yout hop up and nozzle. the cylnder doesn't have enough air to get dusty or dry, if you *want* just take it apart and lube the cylnder and outside of the nozzle.

however as mentionened the spring may have been stored in a state of compression. have your fps crono'd. make sure it's playable.
