I've always used oven cleaner and sunlight and its worked out great, it does make quite a mess and make sure you stand up-wind.
Here's a pic of my K98 that I used oven cleaner on. I don't have a before pic unfortunately but simply black would best describe what it looked like before. It took me a full day to get it to this point, my process was simple, a few cans of oven cleaner, wipe it down, leave in the sun for a few hours, repeat a few times, finish with linseed oil.
