Lubrication point?

I’m curious about the pinhole on the cocking cam as viewed when looking into the receiver slot. Is this for lubrication?

Best wishes for a Happy, Healthy and safe New Year everyone!

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....?...:whistle:
