Master Craftsman
Your superior crafting skills allow you to create simple magic items.
Prerequisites: 5 ranks in any Craft or Profession skill.
Benefit: Choose one Craft or Profession skill in which you possess at least 5 ranks. You receive a +2 bonus on your chosen Craft or Profession skill. Ranks in your chosen skill count as your caster level for the purposes of qualifying for the Craft Magic Arms and Armor and Craft Wondrous Item feats. You can create magic items using these feats, substituting your ranks in the chosen skill for your total caster level. You must use the chosen skill for the check to create the item. The DC to create the item still increases for any necessary spell requirements (see the magic item creation rules in Magic Items). You cannot use this feat to create any spell-trigger or spell-activation item.
you use the ranks in the skill as your CL
Creating Magic Weapons
To create a magic weapon, a character needs a heat source and some iron, wood, or leatherworking tools. She also needs a supply of materials, the most obvious being the weapon or the pieces of the weapon to be assembled. Only a masterwork weapon can become a magic weapon, and the masterwork cost is added to the total cost to determine final market value. Additional magic supplies costs for the materials are subsumed in the cost for creating the magic weapon—half the base price of the item based upon the item's total effective bonus.
Creating a magic weapon has a special prerequisite: The creator's caster level must be at least three times the enhancement bonus of the weapon. If an item has both an enhancement bonus and a special ability, the higher of the two caster level requirements must be met. A magic weapon must have at least a 1 enhancement bonus to have any melee or ranged special weapon abilities.
If spells are involved in the prerequisites for making the weapon, the creator must have prepared the spells to be cast (or must know the spells, in the case of a sorcerer or bard) but need not provide any material components or focuses the spells require. The act of working on the weapon triggers the prepared spells, making them unavailable for casting during each day of the weapon's creation. (That is, those spell slots are expended from the caster's currently prepared spells, just as if they had been cast.)
At the time of creation, the creator must decide if the weapon glows or not as a side-effect of the magic imbued within it. This decision does not affect the price or the creation time, but once the item is finished, the decision is binding.
Creating magic double-headed weapons is treated as creating two weapons when determining cost, time, and special abilities.
Creating some weapons may entail other prerequisites beyond or other than spellcasting. See the individual descriptions for details.
Time Required Crafting a magic weapon requires 1 day for each 1,000 gp value of the base price.
Feat(s) Required: Craft Magic Arms and Armor.
Skill(s) Required: Spellcraft, Craft (bows) (for magic bows and arrows), or Craft (weapons) (for all other weapons).
You have to have craft(weapons) for magic weapons
EDITEDSo if you wanted to make a +2 Musket, that would cost 8000gp, you have to already have a masterwork musket to make it magical
it takes 8 hours of work a day per 1000g of the item, so it would take you at least 8 days to make this, at the end of this time you make a craft check DC=5+CL of the item and you have to pay 1/2 of the base price of the item, so 4000gp
The CL of an item with no abilities and only an enhancement bonus is equal to the bonus X3, so CL 6 for this weapon, your craft DC would be 11, however if you fail the check, your time AND money are wasted
If you had a certain one in mind and cannot figure out the math to it, post what you want and I'll do what I can to explain better
also: you can boost magic in steps.
ie:
you have mwk gun
you use difference in cost for determining time and cost.
same for +1-+2 and etc.

@IejirIsk I believe its only 1/3 for mundane/alchemical items, pretty much anything "non-magical"
Pretty much everything works different between magic and mundane crafting, for instance
1) Find the item's price in silver pieces (1 gp = 10 sp).
2) Find the item's DC from Table: Craft Skills.
3) Pay 1/3 of the item's price for the raw material cost.
4) Make an appropriate Craft check representing one week's worth of work. If the check succeeds, multiply your check result by the DC. If the result × the DC equals the price of the item in sp, then you have completed the item. (If the result × the DC equals double or triple the price of the item in silver pieces, then you've completed the task in one-half or one-third of the time. Other multiples of the DC reduce the time in the same manner.) If the result × the DC doesn't equal the price, then it represents the progress you've made this week. Record the result and make a new Craft check for the next week. Each week, you make more progress until your total reaches the price of the item in silver pieces.If you fail a check by 4 or less, you make no progress this week. If you fail by 5 or more, you ruin half the raw materials and have to pay half the original raw material cost again.
ALL of that is for crafting mundane/alchemical items, magic items go by completely different rules
I had that explained to me as "mundane" firearms...at the point u try to add an ability or enhancement bonus it, it then follows the rules for magic items...I could be wrong but that's how my GM explained it to me and it seems very reasonable
Actually in the Field Repair Area of Ultimate Combats Feat Section it mentions Craft(Firearms).
Also I bolded something I think you missed.

But since Gunsmithing grants those abilities inherently to a gunslinger why would he take Craft(Firearms). The issue I'm seeing is gunsmithing acts like Craft(Firearms), but you dont make a check and it's not a skill so it doesn't interact with Master Craftsman. So it looks like you either have to take a redundant Craft(Firearms) to craft a magical firearm, or choose another skill for something like craft wonderous items.

The Firearm special ability in specific I was looking at was:
Lucky
Aura moderate transmutation; CL 8th; Price +1 bonus
Description:
This special ability can only be placed on one-handed or two-handed firearms. A lucky firearm has its own magical reservoir of grit. Usually this grit is stored within the marks of an engraving or in a trinket that hangs from the firearm. Often these marks take the form of holy symbols or fetishes, but such a reservoir can take just about any form. This reservoir holds 1 grit point, which is refreshed at the start of each day. Whether or not the wielder of a lucky firearm has any deeds, she can always spend 1 grit point from the lucky firearm to reroll an attack from it that would result in a misfire. When the wielder does so, she must take the second result, even if that attack roll also results in a misfire.
Construction:
Requirements Craft Magic Arms and Armor, heroism, creator must be a grit user
So is this intended for magic user who level dip then?
The creator either needs Amateur Gunslinger, be a Gunslinger, or take a +5 DC.
