For years, I thought the hole was due to a missing screw/stud (see picture), but I’ve looked at other 94s and they all have the same ‘missing’ piece. What was the purpose of that hole, assuming it was intentional?

The hole is used to access a pin during disassembly/assembly of components inside the receiver.

That hole is used in the disassembly process. It is used to remove the pin that connects the bolt & lever

Ahhhh, makes perfect sense, thanks!
This was handed down from my grandfather, he was in the insurance business and found it in the vault of a failed bank (probably in the 50’s, most likely NYC).

Not all. This is the receiver of a 1907 1894 rifle that somehow left the factory without the lever pin removal hole.
