AEG cleaning/maintenance.

I have a stock Tokyo Marui MP5-A5 HG that hasn't been shot in 2 or 3 years. It's been in a sealed tupperware container with a rubber cap on the muzzle. There is barely any wear on it and it's only been used for backyard target shooting. I'm wondering if I should take it apart and clean it due to the fact that it hasn't been used in so long. I have no idea how to do this and wouldn't know where to start. If you can offer information or direct me to where I can find information, that would be most appreciated. Thanks.

If it ain't broke don't fix it. Try shooting it first.

try it out first. It will still fire just fine I'm sure.

Did you store it in your freezer? I hear TM's can stay good for a while if chilled...

When you get a chance chrono the gun. Chances are it may be shooting low because the o-rings and rubber bucking have dried out.
