The present invention relates to an optics assembly having a platform and removable and interchangeable modules, and in particular to an optics assembly for a Kalashnikov style firearm. In one embodiment, the assembly has two ends with a longitudinal axis there between. The base replaces the rear sight tower of the Kalashnikov style firearm. The base has a platform with edges overhanging relieved areas or slots. The base has a head with holes there through. Modules can be removably received upon the base. Each module has at least one mount for supporting an optic. Each module has ears that straddle the base head. The ears have holes that are alignable with the head holes for receiving a pin. The modules have ribs that are received within slots in the base as the module is slid along the longitudinal axis relative the base.
