pull the forearm downwards from the front, open chamber, push barrel rearwards to remove. remove buttplate screws and buttplate. insert 7/16 socket and extension into hole and remove bolt. stock can now be fully removed, this is as far as you normally need to disassemble for regular cleaning.
First you must remove the buttpad, or buttplate that you have on the stock. You will reveal the hole that the bolt goes into. You will need either a long screw driver or a extension attachment for a ratchet wrench in order to take the bolt out and the stock off.
The steel piece is the original buttplate.

The stock- or more specifically, the buttplate (fits on the end of the stock)
Most likely a inventory or unit marking.

use a saw and chop the stock, then refinish and attach buttplate.
Best left to a gunmsithAnother answer:Many rifles also have a stock bolt under the Buttplate which if the buttplate can be easily removed (some are not easily removed). There should be a large hole under the buttplate where you can see the head of a large bolt with a flashlight. Find the appropriate long-shanked screw driver & tighten the bolt. Stocks sometimes loosen up from shooting recoil. If you have wood shringage, swelling, warpage,wood rot, oil damage, etc. then take the first answerers advice.
