About 2.30pm Sunday, police were called to a home on Third Street, following reports of an armed man in the yard.
Police attended and attempted to speak with the man, who allegedly refused to cooperate.
Almost an hour later, the 32-year-old man exited the garage and was arrested without incident.
No-one was injured during the operation.
Police located and seized two air rifles and various types of ammunition.
The man was taken to Maitland Police Station and charged with unauthorised possession of firearms, not keeping firearms safe, and possessing ammunition without holding a licence or permit.
He was refused bail and was due to appear at Maitland Local Court on Monday.
