While not firearms, ACT Policing said it would accept any other illegal, unregistered, and unwanted weapons during the amnesty.
With the amnesty in it's final month, the ACT Firearms Registry has received more than 318 firearms, with 159 surrendered in the first month alone.
An ACT Policing spokesperson said the majority of weapons relinquished had been old .22 rifles, old shotguns, and .303 rifles, but the authorities had also received pistols and semi-automatic rifles.
People who hand in a gun during the amnesty are exempt from prosecution or fines.
An ACT Policing spokesperson said a number of historic firearms had also been surrendered, including a 1870 Springfield Trapdoor rifle with genuine US government markings and a 1916 Luger Pistol.
The spokesperson said the aim of the amnesty was to improve public safety by reducing the number of unregistered firearms and firearm-related items in the community.
"The amnesty is an opportunity for people who possess an unregistered firearm, for whatever reason, to hand it in," the spokesperson said.
"This is 318 fewer firearms that would otherwise be at greater risk of ending up in the wrong hands.
"Don't risk firearms falling into the wrong hands – put your mind at ease and register or hand-in your unregistered firearm."
The spokesperson urged Canberrans in possession of illegal weapons to hand them in during the final weeks of the amnesty.
"If you are caught with an unregistered firearm, you risk a fine of between $10,000 and $280,000, or up to 14 years in jail, or both. You also risk a criminal record.
"You may be eligible to register and keep your firearms if you are appropriately licensed or can obtain a licence.
"In some cases, you may also be eligible to sell your firearm to a firearms dealer. Under no circumstances should loaded firearms be taken into a public place."
The spokesperson said anyone with concerns about handling firearms or safely transporting them, should contact their state or territory firearms registry for advice.
Information about individual state and territory requirements, including how and where to surrender firearms, can be found at firearmsamnesty.ag.gov.au or by calling 1800 909 826.
Firearms or firearm-related items can be surrendered at the ACT Firearms Registry, 86 Vicars Street, Mitchell during business hours.
The amnesty runs until September 30.
