If you want to have 5.56 AK-74s available near Vegas for a narrative purpose, then just do so. Don't worry about a justification more than just perhaps, there they were. But your economic reasoning is just, sorry, implausible. The political hurdles of importing military grade weaponry and that it's more "evil assault weapons" (going with the proposed conversion to semi-auto) in civilian hands is much larger and harder than I think anyone is considering. But like I said, if you want to have it for a narrative purpose, then just do it, don't worry about a justification.
