"...no4 mk3..." No such thing. You can have a No. 4 Mk I or Mk I* or a No. 4 Mk 2. Your's is likely a Mk I or Mk I*. Not that it matters.
A 5 round mag is not original. It's been made that way. That doesn't matter either.
What happens when the extractor fails? Fails to grab the case or slips off the case?
Give the bolt a bath, look for a wee burr on the bolt head near the extractor and look at the extractor spring. You may need to replace the spring(it's not difficult), but clean the bolt head first. Marstar has 'em at $8 each.
