Been a while since I have sold/bought a gun and want to make sure I do this correctly. My brother lives in Virginia (I am in MD), and I would like to transfer him a unregulated rifle (aka not an AR/AK etc). Do we need to go through an FFL? It would seem pretty straightforward if we do, and just a quick call to NICS/transfer fee. Not sure if required however? Just want to double check.

if your brother has an FFL03/C&R (Curio n relic) for guns older then 50 years, he could just take it from you.

Only if it is 50 years old or older.
Call around for transfer fees. Some charge $75- $100 per transfer, and some as low as $25. Tyler Firearms I think charges on the low end of things.

Where in Virginia?
Yes you must transfer through a FFL in the receivers state. You do not need to involve a Maryland FFL if the Virginia dealer will accept shipment of the firearm directly from you. Contact the dealer in Virginia. He sends you a signed copy of his FFL. You ship the firearm via common carrier, UPS / FedEx and include a copy of your drivers license with the shipment.

No, it does not need to be the receiver's state. They could do the transfer at a MD FFL if the brother comes to visit here.
As biggfoot44 pointed out, it can be done by an FFL in either state.
Even a long gun which doesn’t need to go thru an FFL when sold within MD between two MD residents?
Different circumstances. Long gun sold between two Maryland residents can be face to face as long as the receiver isn’t a prohibited person.
