A man who allegedly posted comments online about the Christchurch terrorist attack has led South Australia Police to a haul of weapons in his home.

The 37-year-old will face Elizabeth Magistrates Court on Monday charged with possessing a Class H replica firearm, four counts of possessing a prohibited weapon and one count of possessing prescribed equipment, South Australia Police said.

Officers swarmed on his northern suburbs home on Friday after his social media comments, where they found a replica firearm, two flick knives, an expandable baton and a crossbow.
