Household white vinegar. It turned in just a few seconds. The Ruger blueing always looked to me like some sort of surface finish, for want of a better term. It doesn't look like a normal hot blue to me. The ones I have seen reblued remind me of the old Winchester nickle steel guns reblued with a little plum cast to the color.
