A player (gunslinger) wants to craft a magic shotgun +1, but he does not have the feats to craft magical objects. He asked me if a spellcaster can help him to craft a magic shotgun double-barreled +1. He creates the shotgun and the spellcaster cast the magic on him. Is this possible? Would the spellcaster only cast a spell at the end of crafting (this is to calculate the price)? Thank you.
By the rules he needs the feat Craft Magic Arms and Armor or he needs the Master Craftsman feat if he does not have spell casting ability.
That said, unless this person a gunslinger in the first place, they probably can't craft firearms anyways.
The player can craft their own, non-magical shotgun and then, once that's done, pay a spellcaster who has Craft Magic Arms & Armor to give it a +1 bonus and whatever else he wants on top of that (assuming he has enough money, of course). The spellcaster would be working every day of the second stage, but would not need to be present for the first stage at all.
Note that the spellcaster should charge the full price for the magic (8,000 gp for a +1 bonus); if you want half price you need to do the enspelling yourself.
So the Gunslinger would have to craft a masterwork weapon first then turn it over to the caster to make it a +1 weapon.
Craft (weaponsmith) not crafting (firearms). The latter isn't a thing. Otherwise as Meirril says.

To make a magic weapon, you need a mastercrafted version of the weapon. A gunslinger can craft a firearm at a rate of 1000gp's worth per day. Mastercrafted adds 300 to the cost of the shotgun.
Each barrel of a firearm is enchanted separately. So for a double barreled shotgun that is counted as 2 different weapons to enchant. The person doing the enchanting needs Craft Magic Arms and Armor feat, and a non-spell caster can qualify to learn the crafting feat by taking the Master Craftsmen feat.
But this means the Gunslinger needs the skill Crafting(firearms) which most of them don't take because the skill Gunsmithing doesn't require it to make guns or ammo.
Other than the barrel thing, firearms are enchanted just like any other ranged weapon. Follow the standard rules.
I don't think guns require craft checks. Read the gunsmith feat. It never says makes a craft check.
Crafting Firearms: You can craft any early firearm for a cost in raw materials equal to half the price of the firearm. At your GM’s discretion, you can craft advanced firearms for a cost in raw materials equal to half the price of the firearm. Crafting a firearm in this way takes 1 day of work for every 1,000 gp of the firearm’s price (minimum 1 day).
it's one weapon.
do notice it's advanced weapon (as in more modern times\society). so if you do not allow advanced weapon in your games he can only dream about it.
