Default Missfire

Every single time I try to fire my Traditions Buckhunter inline 50 cal it won't fire on the first shot. It'll fire how it should the second time the action closes. Even if I don't put a cap in, then hold the bolt when I pull the trigger to hold the tension in my hand, close it very slowly with a cap in. Then open it and fire it regularly it will shoot fine. I shot it about 20 times today, cleaned it, tried different grains, brand new tin of caps and still. I bought the gun yesterday had my local gun shop do a full clean on it and make sure everything was safe. My first time shooting it was after I picked it up this morning. I've torn it apart and cleaned it a number of times today, but still always miss fires. It doesn't blow the cap the first time either.
