Easy. Tell the seller that you need test firing. If it's not working, you have to return it. For mismatched or reblued gun, seller should not object test fire it, make a video, and send it to you for evaluation, or allows you to test fire a box from it.

"3-day non-firing inspection" -- by looking at it, you won't know. For collectible firearms, the inspection focuses on correctness, finish, numbering, marking etc. None of those tells you it works or not. If it's a mismatched or reblued, you virtually inspect nothing that way.
