Acetone won't hurt bluing but might affect some wood finishes. Its greatest hazard is its flammability. Plain old mineral spirits (paint thinner), all by itself, works about as well as anything else on the market. That is what the military uses at their ranges for general gun cleaning, including bores - They call it PD-680, just a high flash point form of mineral spirits.
