In the case of firearms, it stands for Winchester Magnum Rimfire.
the company no longer exists - but I believe they transitioned into what is now either Stoeger or Interarms. I have one of their FN commercial Mauser 98 rifles in 30-06. Not sure where it was assembled, but it is a Belgian FN 98 action, a Sako trigger group, and the barrel rifling looks like a Sako as well. Great gun. They sold for a premium to Winchester M70s and better gun I think. but they sell cheap. I think there is some confusion here between FIE, Firearmes International, Inc. Of Houston, TX, importers of old military hardware and arms, and Firearms International Corporation of Washington DC 20022, a now defunct company that once imported some rather uniique wire-framed .22 Short/Long/LR rifles, .22 Magnum rifles, .410 shotgun, and .22LR/.410 combo arms, generally referred to as Broncos. These same firearms were also imported by Bauer and marketed under the "Rabbit" name in the 1970's. All of these arms appear to have been produced in Italy by an unknown manufacturer. Firearms International Corporation was absorbed in the late 1960's or early 1970's by Garcia Corporation (of fishing fame). Unsubstantiated rumors have it that Firearms International Corporation was a front or shell corporation for the CIA, hence the Washington DC 20022 appellation, but no actual address. Further information on Firearms International Corporation or the Italian manufacturure of the arms they imported appears to be non-existant.
