There's no reason that it shouldn't still be dependable after 40 years if it has been stored properly and cleaned after usage. Problems with rust can develope if any firearm is stored in an enclosed gun case that does not let moisture evaporate away from metal surfaces where rust can develope. A light coating of oil on the metal surface will go a long way to protect the bluing.
