Pullit - so sorry to hear that you may have been scammed. I've been scammed a few times, myself, and it sure is infuriating. It sux that these scumbags are out there.
I know this comes too late to help you, but as a tip to others to avoid a scam, one thing that I have found helpful is to ask for an additional photo that is not included in the original add, such as a photo of the bolt face, the muzzle, etc. Since a scammer usually doesn't have the actual item in their possession, they are not able to provide additional photos, and you then know it is a scam.
Also, I always like to call the seller on sales for more expensive items, especially when it is a screaming deal or the listing language is odd. A scammer will rarely take a phone call. No direct telephone conversation results in no deal.
Just a few tips to hopefully reduce the number of these unfortunate incidences.
