Hi Bill
Yes the static force in itself has 2 parts to it
1) The third leaver return spring that makes the third leaver push up onto the transfer bar that pushes up on the cocking piece, this is upwards pressure.
2) The firing pin spring compressed up resulting in an upwards pressure on the cocking piece because of the angle engagement while at battery.
Mister T on another site posted a video clip of a trigger that can be described as "WOW"
But interesting also in the first clip you can see with the action that was used the bolt and handle moving up and down when dry firing.
