While I would have a few punch dot hardness tests done on the gun for my own peace of mind, one thing to consider is the gun wasn't exposed to heat temps high enough to separate the rib from the barrel nor char the stock off the rear of the receiver.
This is a pretty good metallurgical indication the steel is still in good shootable condition.
