Visual features would include furniture that actually fits, rifling that isn't missing at the muzzle and/or no chatter marks, front sight that doesn't feel loose, and maybe more?
I just picked up a 1894 in 44 mag, and had 2 of the problems above. Wood doesn't fit as good as it should and the front sight was loose (and then fell off after tightening it up... Crappy screws broke). After fixing the sight though, it shoots great.
