But according to the article (and I confess, I haven't read the full indictment) he was charged with possession. He didn't have possession until an agent handed it to him. . .

I think that's about it. Entrapment is when the cops induce somebody to commit a criminal offense he or she would have otherwise been unlikely to commit.
Wolf was chumping at the bit to get something to use to kill cops and judges.

Devastating kick.
A popular YouTube phenomenon is to give a gun-ignorant little ole girl, usually in a tiny top, a big gun with a powerful load and film their first shot. Laughter ensues when the trusting neophyte is assaulted by the recoil they never knew was coming.
Besides needlessly teaching an avoidance of firearms, the jokers setting up these tricks don't realize or care that a way too heavy recoil can really hurt people. Heavy bruises, eye socket injuries from recoiling scopes, detached retinas from massive recoil and worse are real possibilities. There is a documented case of a woman being given a massive Smith & Wesson 500 handgun, shooting it and then killing herself when the recoil of her first shot and her inexperienced grip pushed the pistol under her chin. . .only to have it discharge a second time, killing her.
Life ain't fair. She's dead and Wolf is getting three hots and a cot at the tax payer's expense.
