What have ya'll done to me?

In december of last year I owned 1 airgun--A daisy 880. I was never really happy with it but I got roughly 30 dove, 1 quail with it over the last year so it served me well for it's purpose. Fast forward to now, I have a Gamo Hornet, Crosman quest, Tuned xs-25 ordered (which I may cancel now) and my craigslist purchase today.
You have fed an addiction here. I run a Detox center for work, so I may have to check myself in before too long.
Since I work graveyard and have a lot of free time, I surf craigslist for any airguns that pop up, hopefully catching them before they get flagged. Early this AM I stumbled upon a "beeman airgun" post, with no price.
I gave the guy a call before I got off this morning, and he told me he had just inherited the rifle from a friend who had passed away. That's all he knew.
We agreed to meet up at his house after I got off work so I could check the gun out. Come to find out, it is a .20 Beeman R1. I shot it in his yard, we agreed on a price, and I headed home.
It definitely needs a barrel cleaning as it's diesiling when shot. What else would you all recommend before I really shoot it? I think the spring needs to be lubed. I'm going to do a search to get some direction for a home cleanup.
And the mandatory pictures
