Yeppers, not a big deal. And if the fall board does need to come out, it's
not that much a problem either.  The metal pieces sort of want to be back
in the right position. They do flop around, but mostly cooperate when you
understand how they work. I do remember the first one being difficult.

I'd rather remove an Acrosonic fall board than those grand actions with 50
screws holding the fall board and action in place. Screws on the fall board
pivot pins, screws for the top section of cheek block, screws for the lower
section of cheek block, and finally! screws for the action guides.

Maybe 50 is a bit exaggerated.....
