Questions on my newly bought Swedish M96, dated 1912.

well if you're concerned you should get it checked out. However, if the bolt matches the receiver and a look at the bore is ok, then if it was me I would have no qualms about shooting it. #3 bores on swedes are still excellent bores for milsurps they were very meticulous about bore condition. If it was bad, it would have been hanged out. But who knows how many round have gone thru it since its last inspection at a Swedish arsenal. Also, who knows if that stock disk is original. It sure looks unusual and not normal for these rifles. You saId the bore looks great. I shoot ppu soft point mainly thru my swedes, I have three. My m96 has a personal name disk on it, not a bore condition. Disk. The lands are a little rounded but it still shoots great. Well, maybe someone else will chime in here that has more experience than me.
