Okay.....I just came home with my brand new Russian Red Lancaster AKM. I cannot for the life of me get the dust cover off

. I've pushed again and again on the button and lifting with no luck. As this is brand new and I haven't even fired it yet, I don't want to mess it up trying to get this thing off. Any suggestions? Thank you.

Get like a bic pen with a rounded top(not the tip of the pen the other side) and push.

You have to twist it a bit to the right and push the driving spring guide or the take down button..

I had that same problem with the dust cover also the gas tube was a real bitch to get off and back on again.

Getting it back on can be tricky at first too.
