If you click through to the Armslist ad, you can flag it as a scam. I think it only takes 3 flags to get the ad pulled. I did flag it as a scam, so just needs 2 more

Just give them your address and invite then to bring the rifle right over. When they get there just tell them the plastic on the floor and walls is for some work you are having done, if they have no rifle and are up to no good they will discover what the plastic is for soon enough.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.
