FC/SL would disagree with libertarians on guns.

Also, a libertarian would abolish the Federal Reserve, while a fiscal conservative would not.

Please explain.

Anyway, libertarianism is different from 'fiscal conservatism' because the latter is clearly supposed to be pragmatic while the former is idealogical.

For example, a libertarian views taxes as immoral. An FC (or economic liberal) will probably view taxes as having a negative effect, but they don't consider the act of taxation to be bad. You wouldn't here a libertarian say something like "the government should spend money and the investment should pay for itself" while an FC may be more susceptible to those arguments.
