I tend to agree with Roadkill on his diagnosis. If the toggle was eased forward during the loading process and not pulled completely to the rear and allowed to slam forward to strip the first round it is possible that the toggle was closed the first two times without the firing pin being cocked.

Make sure the trigger linkage, sear bar, firing pin, springs and retaining parts, as well as the breechblock recess for the firing pin is real clean and properly lubricated (I recommend breakfree for lubrication) and you should have no further problems.
