Got a trade in the works, wanting info

Okay, I'm going this weekend to meet a guy and maybe do an even swap. I'm giving up my S&W 65-2 for a 1917 Eddystone Enfield, new barrel, .30-06, timney trigger, 3x9x50 BSA, garage sportered stock (that was actually done pretty nicely).

Here's the deal. I don't know anything about this model rifle. What should I look for?

I'm not worried about the legal questions, I already know my state's laws, I'm not worried about a disparity in value as these guns are around the same value, I just want to know what to look for.

Is it prone to cracking in the receiver? Anything of that nature? It has a new barrel, so I'm not worried about the possibility of it having fired old corrosive ammo, as long as the action's not eaten up with rust.
