Unless you know a type of gun well, you cannot tell it's correct or not in a few minutes in store. For that matter, if you don't know it, actually, even give you three days, you probably cannot tell. Reason is simple -- correct or not came from comparison on many many samples of that type. With a single gun in hand, if you don't have how it should look like in mind, it's not easy.
Asking three-day non-firing inspection, take it home, posting detail pictures here. For people familiar with it, it's just a few minutes.
It's not a trust or not trust issue. Most modern gun dealers don't handle C&R very often. They don't know details either..
