shot this gun yesterday for the 1st time. had a rattle inside the receiver so in my ignorance, thinking something was loose I took it apart this morning. rattle is the small hooks above the springs. it appears they would only engage when the gun is upside down. some type of back up safety?

Also, this gun was new in the box for 29 years and although there is no rust, all the parts are dry. should I lubricate some or all of the interior parts?

thanks in advance.
