Stephen Nicholas Da Silva-Wilson, 24, was arrested in August last year following an alleged breach of a protection order.
Police later searched a Kambah property where he was arrested, and it's alleged they found guns, ammunition, a shotgun magazine, a trench knife and knuckle dusters.
Also allegedly at the home were drugs, including methamphetamine and MDMA, as well as plastic explosives, detonating cord and safety fuse.
Da Silva-Wilson has pleaded guilty to a total of 14 charges, including three drug trafficking charges, possessing a prohibited firearm and ammunition, possessing a prohibited weapon and article, one of possessing a dangerous substance as well as two counts of failing to comply with firearm storage requirements.
His 14 guilty pleas also included pleas to four counts of contravening a domestic violence order.
On Tuesday, a number of other weapons and ammunition charges, as well as a charge of attempt to pervert the course of justice, were withdrawn by the prosecution.
A statement of facts is yet to be tendered.
The matter is due to return to the ACT Magistrates Court in April for a sentencing hearing. Da Silva-Wilson remains in custody.
