ACT Policing said the 63-year-old man held a firearms licence but he was not allowed to have some of the weapons found at the property.
Police said neither the guns nor the ammunition were stored correctly and the revolver was loaded, which is in breach of the law.
The weapons were uncovered by police who had been called to a disturbance at the South Canberra property on Sunday.
Inside, they found a fully loaded revolver, eight long arm rifles, two double barrel shotguns, 16 bayonets and more than 8,000 rounds of ammunition, police allege.
It is also alleged they found a number of barrels, stocks, bolts and other parts which could be used to assemble more firearms.
The man has been summonsed to appear in the ACT Magistrate's Court on a number of firearms charges at a later date.
