I just had the floor plate of a Parker apart today but I didn't pay very close attention to that hole.
My guess is that if it was intended to be an oiling point it would be to get oil to the cocking slide. .

It must be for lubrication. I cannot imagine any other purpose for it.
I went through my spare cocking cranks (about 30 of them) and all but 1 have that hole in them.

What a great question. Does anyone oil there gun at that point?

Never noticed that tiny hole. Guess I better use a bit of schmutz in there when cleaning/lubing my Parkers.

Yup, thanks Phil - no mention of lubrication in the hole in the cocking cam.
That leaves us wondering what the hole was intended for..... weight reduction....?... .
