Best Answer

Pump and some autoloading shotguns of popular makes with tube magazines using threaded magazine caps can have magazine extension tubes added. Typically these are sold as a kit with tube and spring. The tube replaces the magazine cap.

Box magazine shotguns such as the Saiga just need a larger capacity magazine added.

Older shotguns using magazine plugs held in by screws usually cannot increase mag capacity.

What does removing the plug on a shotgun do?

A shotgun typically stores 5 rounds in its magazine. In some countries, when hunting certain types of game, you are only allowed 3 rounds in your magazine. The "plug" therfore goes into the magazine and takes up the space that two rounds would occupy., reducing the shotgun's magazine capacity be 2 and making it legal.
