When you reassemble the Mk III the magazine tolerance is so tight that even if the barrel is off a millimeter the pistol will still fire but the magazine will not free fall.

What I do when I reassemble the pistol (and before I reinstall the latch pin) is to put an empty magazine in the well and test for free fall. If not I use a rubber mallet to lightly tap the barrel either forward or back depending on which direction I feel is causing the magazine snugness.

Once I get it right and the magazine free falls I then remove the empty magazine and put the assembly/disassembly latch pin back in place.

The Mk II has had many thousands of rounds fired and cleaned countless times so everything just slides into place tool free and there is no magazine disconnect.
