The FIME Group (Firearms Importer Manufacturer Exporter), was established in Las Vegas back in 2011, with the idea of connecting with other manufacturers to create relationships to benefit and strengthen the firearms industry.
In the past, FIME Group has had close partnership with Izhmash Factory of Russia (now Kalashnikov Concern), but due to current political situation, and sanctions imposed by the State Department on Kalashnikov Concern, FIME Group is no longer affiliated with this company.
Zastava Arms of Serbia instead is one of FIME Group current key partners, and their lines of Bolt Action rifles and Pistols are available through the FIME Group.
