what is the conclusion to these observations one made? i can read the differences but what does it all mean? is one receiver more inherently accurate than another, why?

I was wondering the same thing? Which is better?

This change wasn't made to improve upon the design or fix an existing issue, it was made to standardize the components so that they're uniform for all models (Mark I, Mark II and 93R). The old Mark I and Mark II models used one length action and bolt, while the 93's used another. This simply eliminates the need to manufacture different parts for those models which cuts cost and increases productivity and efficiency.

The E-receivers eliminated the recoil lug. I just bought a new 93r17 GV and there is no recoil lug, no dovetail cut for one and no hole for an allen screw to hold it in. Also, they have apparently recently replaced one of the lugs on the magazine holder with a plug and a clip. There are now only two lugs on the receiver and these are the ones used to mount the barrel to the stock.

What about the size and thread of the bosses for the trigger/ magazine assembly?
