I'm strongly considering getting a gun kit and building it into a semi-auto. I've narrowed it down to two kits, both are simple builds. The issue now is looks. Which one of these kits looks nicer/cooler? That's really all it comes down to is what looks better, all the technical issues are out of the way.

CZ-26:

Simple kit to build, inexpensive, shoots a caliber I already stock.

STEN:

Easier to built, slightly more expensive to get the semi-auto conversion parts, shoots 9mm which I don't stock.

I'm no expert when it comes to guns, however I do know that CZ is a good gun company. And really think of it this way. If you get the CZ you save money just buying that kit, plus you save money because you don't have to buy ammo. If you save enough, you might be able to get the STEN later down the road.

As for which one looks better? Honestly I like the CZ. It has an retro kind of look to it, I think.

CZ is an awesome arsenal. My ma has a CZ-52 and it's the sweetest shooting handgun I've had the pleasure of using. It's also why I have a ton of ammo for the 26(they shootthe same round). I'd still need to buy ammo, but just because I'd be using it more.

I would like to say to you to save money for other things but that would be very hipocrith coming from me
If you really like it buy it

STEN is sexy as can be... but CZ is a nice reliable gun ( If I remember correctly ) and cheaper.

Same era, same generation of SMG development, it's doubtless it would share similarities with the M3.
