The Western Australia Joint Counter Terrorism Team raided the home of Jayson Joseph Michaels, 20, home following an investigation by police and ASIO.
He faces a string of offences including using a carriage service to menace or harass, using a prohibited weapon, failing to store a firearm in compliant storage and unlicensed ammunition.

Mr Michaels appeared in the Perth Magistrates Court on Friday and was remanded in custody.
He is due to appear again on March 23 for a bail application hearing.
It comes about one month after Liam Alexander Hall, 32, was the first person in Western Australia to be charged with a terrorism offence, after he allegedly attempted bombing at an Invasion Day rally on January 26.
Premier Roger Cook is due to front media shortly.
More to come.
