According to this it is 370 mm long.
What i usually do in your situation is print of a picture and divide the length of the gun in the photo into the length of the real gun,this will give you a conversion factor to work out the other dimensions, to then the make a 1:1 scale drawing.
Alternatively you can reduce or enlarge the photo on a photo copier until it is the correct size,although the perspective of your photo
will cause distortion to the proportion,as can enlarging drawings on a photo copiers also cause even more problems in this area.
I know someone who enlarged plans for a wooden boat and it would not all fit together due this last issue.
You could write to the royal armouries in Leeds to go and view a real one in their archive.
Pan D is you can drag out a photo on an i pad until it is 1:1 and you can get sizes this way too. Kaboom!!
Happy Building
