Bought this 1873 (beautiful) and installed the Marble tang pop up sight. The problem is, the sight at max height, barely can see the front blade on the barrel, has anyone else had this problem (insufficient range in the marble sight height?)

I wish I had this one. We have a great group of members and I hope one of them will have an answer for you. Unfortunately, I'm not one of those. But you are right. This is a beautiful firearm.

Eugene, this is a beautiful rifle. You should look into a plate or washers at the screw holes to elevate the  Marble tang pop up sight a tad.  You may want to contact Uberti-USA for advice also at :  --  https://www.uberti-usa.com/contact-us

Eugene, No to insult your intelligence, but did you install the step elevator with your pop up tang sight? The Step Elevator controls the height adjustment of the rear sights just like the vintage models. Available for 1-7/8 inch and 2-3/4 inch rear sights. The double step design assures sturdiness. Thumb button has been added for easy adjustment. Depending on your Marble sight you used 63, 63H, 64, 64H, 65, 66, 66H, 67, 67H, or 68 you would use elevator part number 09500, 09100, 09200 double step elevators or part number 009050, or 009080 for single step.
