This is not an unusual need for old Brit guns, even if they saw light use. The favoured lubricants in those days were petroleum jelly and "Rangoon Oil," which is particularly vile stuff. Both congealed to a tar-like sludge over the years, whether the gun was shot or not. This is why the annual "strip-and-clean" was so important.
With good modern lubricants, your gun should give good service for years.
