I have a reproduction Pack Parrott at home, and I have a copy of the drawings. I will try to get you the information tonight.

Great little gun. From memory, the trunions are 2.75 inches, barrel ahead of the band is 7 inches, band is 9 inches.

I thought I answered this last night. So I will try from memory.

Lenght from one end to the other - 35.5 inches
diameter in front of band - 7 inches
diameter of band - 9 inches
length of band - 8 inches (drawing shows 10 inches, my guess is it was made shorter to fit into a 1851 pairie carriage)

I found the link for the drawing - this is the start of it, the drawing is on the last entry.
