If I have any doubts about a long gun, I take it to a professional gunsmith, a real one, not some guy that thinks he knows guns, for a complete dis-assembly and inspection. Given a go ahead, I'd still secure it to a spare tire and rim and line and test fire a few rounds down range and then reinspect it. Other than taking them to a gunsmith, I know metals, that is what I do. Never had one blow up on me and that will save your face, literally. Modern loads are higher pressure than older guns can bear. Err on the side of caution!
