You could redesign the cleaning jag, or make your own brand of percussion nipples...
Turn your own speed loaders, make custom ramrods and thimbles...
The list can go on and on... :thumbsup:
A top end mill you say, hmmmmmm... :hmm:
You could mill out your own bullet molds... (I will supply you with a ball-et type mold design that is easy and fun to do)

How about an ignition system that works better in the rain than flint & frizzen. And then somebody ought to invent a self-contained envelope for all the powder and the ball with the new igniting doohicky attached right to it. Maybe even a way to open up the back of the gun so it could be put in the back so we don't have to push it in from the front and we could do away with the patch. Hey! Then we could make a box underneath the barrel to hold five or ten of these thinghys. And we could hook a telescope on the top so we could see farther and have to "hunt" less.
Being a smarta$$, of course, but for a lot of us everything we need was invented before 1820. The rest just adds complication and detracts from the enjoyment. Of course, if you make about anything folks will buy it. There's catalogs full of such paraphenalia. The sky's the limit.
You could get busy on a very accurate lube, made from a minimum of cheap, natural ingredients commonly available in 1750 (that still are - no whale oil for instance) that doesn't require wiping for 10 shots or so. ::

Make an adjustable percussion nipple, just in case you can only find musket caps...
Work off of drill bit chuck technology, twist the rotor base to enlarge the nipple's shaft to fit any percussion cap...
Or, :crackup:, a double barrel nipple, for extra fire...
('corse it would require a special hammer)

Ok (now I wouldn't normally give this stuff out free, you know . . . )
The M/L world needs:
A round ball mould that casts with only 5% rejects.
A conical bullet mold that casts with only 20% rejects.
A frizzen material that sparks when struck with wood.
An attachment for a Dremel tool that does stock carving and metal engraving, by itself, when clamped onto a firearm.
A capping tool that doesn't home in on the very bottom of the hunting pouch.
An easy to use (non-CO2) ball puller.
A flint knapping machine - drop in a rock and get back two dozen nice, non-humpie, evenly sized flints.
