It's tricky, but after you get the hang of it, it'll be easy. Take the front of the cover and tuck it into the notch under the rear sight. Make sure it's centered. Then bring the back half of the cover right up to the dust cover release button. Make sure the hole in the dust cover is aligned with the button. Press the back of the dust cover down in one swift motion (doesn't have to be overly forceful).

take a rubber mallet to the "wrist" on under side of the stock it will take a few strikes but it will come out

There are three screws for the butt stock.

The third is under the dust cover button / recoil spring.

With the dust cover off, push the button and spring forward and remove it from the slots, you'll see screw number 3.

Aye, 3 screws. Then smack it out with a rubber mallet. Don't worry, you won't damage it.
