There are many manufactures that make tube extensions to increase the amount of shells you could carry in a shotgun.
What? Sidesaddles and speedfeed stocks aren't the same thing as a magazine tube. It's not even remotely a legal issue.

The problem with the magazine capacity laws and shotguns, is that shot shells come in different lengths, which can make a drastic difference regarding capacity of the magazine tube. No one has an answer for that yet. More specifically the problem is, does an 8+1 shotgun you bought actually hold 8+1 if you use aguila mini shot shells that are only 1.75"? What about a 10 shell magazine tube that holds 10 3.5" shells, what happens when you use 2.75" shells?"

At least I can only assume that's what the OP is concerned about.
