Have you bought the rifle already?
If possible (before buying) I would check the gas piston and tube, the smaller rod the gas piston recoils into, remove the receiver cover, pull the recoil spring, pull the bolt. Inspect all of them for damage and wear, check the springs for breakage (they are coil springs), see if the firing pin freely floats, and is not stuck forward. Also check the inside of the receiver for cracks, damage etc.. Also check the harder steel cross bar aft of the magazine.
The primary safety concern I would have would be with the firing pin jammed forward it could fire fully automatically.
The trigger mechanism is very safe, same for the action, and the receiver is designed to be made of even mild steel, with just the cross bar having to be of a harder steel, so it is a quite safe design (as long as some one didn't muck with it, which I would look for).
